    Map chart: Line connector does not cross dateline, it should?

    adjust visualization width/height by API

    Please allow to adjust visualization width/height by API. Also please expose API to lock visualization, i.e. allow to use API to do the same as what can be done via menu "Visualization" => "Arrange Visualization" => "Lock visualization area".

    Customisable Lines / Symbols on Bump Chart Mod

    The Bump Chart mod in Spotfire is a great way of showing rankings over time, but at the moment it is only possible to display coloured lines and circles to show the rankings. I'd ideally like to be able to change both the size and shape of the ran...
