Configure charting settings in ColdFusion Administrator
The introduction recommends using third-party charting tools like Chart.js or High Charts, noting that there are hundreds of charting options available and advising users to review their specific needs before selecting a package.
Charting Recommendation
We recommend using modern third-party charting tools such as Chart.js or High Charts instead of the built-in ColdFusion charting functionality. Before selecting a charting package, carefully review your specific requirements to ensure you choose the solution that best fits your needs.
Upgrade Note
If you are upgrading from ColdFusion 9 or earlier, be aware that the cfchart engine has been significantly updated in later versions. Before upgrading, it is strongly advised to back up your existing chart definitions to a directory outside the ColdFusion installation root.
