CFCHART Workaround for labeling horizontal charts

This is a nice tip from Dan Switzer on a fix for a tricky cf chart labeling problem. Sometimes when using an overlapping horizontal bar chart, the labels fail to appear or go missing. In this example from Robi Sen, the first and third labels are there but the middle label is missing.

• Go to your CFusionMX7\charting\styles folder
• Backup the "default.xml" file
• Take off the "read only" attribute of the default.xml file.
• Open the default.xml file for editing.
• Find the lines below

• Change the tag's "isHidOverlapped" attribute to false.
• Save the file.

In experimenting Robi Sen also added the following node:
