Set Chart Title with Data from Data Source

[James]

Is it possible to use data from my data source to initially set the title of a chart?  I am using JSON and when my data is returned I want to take a field i.e. Title and use the value to initialize my chart title.

Hi James,

For this I would suggest setting title via the chart.options in the dataBound event. For your I prepared a basic dojo.

Thanks for the reply.  Is it possible to have a datasource similar to the following that will work in the dojo you showed?  It seems little clunky to have the title in the list of comments.

var chartInfo = {
    "chartTitle": "Chart Title",
    blogComments = [ {
        "blog": "My blog",
        "day": "1",
        "value": 3,
        "userColor": "#ffd600",

      }, {
        "blog": "My blog",
        "day": "2",
        "value": 7,
        "userColor": "#ffd600"
      }, {
        "blog": "My blog",
        "day": "3",
        "value": 12,
        "userColor": "#ffd600"
      }, {
        "blog": "My blog",
        "day": "4",
        "value": 15,
        "userColor": "#ffd600"
      }
    ]
};

$("#chart").kendoChart({
  title: chartInfo.chartTitle,
  dataSource: {
    data: chartInfo.blogComments
  },...
