With the Line chart, there isn't an option to have a scale on the X axis. For this you'll need a Scatter chart with
|
|
<i>chart.line</i> set to true. You either use labels across the X axis or an X scale.

|
|
<a name="chart.fillstyle"></a>
|
|
<b>chart.fillstyle</b><br />

Whether the area under the line is filled or not. This looks best when there is no horizontal
|
|
margin.<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>Note:</b> When showing multiple lines the values are additive by default. This means that if you have two lines

desired behaviour, then you can set this property to <i>false</i> to have them drawn "non-accumulatively".<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
<b>Note:</b> If you use fully opaque colors in conjunction with this option set to false it's feasible that you
|
|
might not see one or more of the lines, or parts of the line. If you want to see all of the lines you should
|
|
leave this option set to its default <i>true</i> setting. You can see an example of this setting
|
|
<a href="line_filled.html">here</a>.
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|

<i>Default: true</i><br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="chart.filled.range"></a>
|
|
<b>chart.filled.range</b><br />
|
|
This is useful for indicating a range. Exactly two datasets are required, with the space between them filled. This is useful for indicating a range.The <a href="../examples/line.html">line chart examples</a> page demonstrates this in action.<br /><i>Default: false</i><br /><br />
|
|
<a name="shadow"></a>

|
|
|
|
<a name="chart.zoom.background"></a>

<a name="chart.tickmarks"></a>
|
|
<b>chart.tickmarks</b><br />
|
|
What kind of tickmarks to use on the chart. This can be:<ul><li>dot</li><li>circle</li><li>filledcircle</li><li>endcircle</li><li>square</li><li>endsquare</li><li>filledsquare</li><li>filledendsquare</li><li>tick</li><li>halftick</li><li>endtick</li><li>cross</li><li>borderedcircle (same as dot)</li><li>arrow</li><li>filledarrow</li></ul><p>Note that "arrow" and "filledarrow" look better with a thinner (1 or 2) linewidth setting. Also note that now (10th August 2010) as well as a string, this can be an array of different tickmark styles.<br />
|
|
<i>Default: null</i><br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="chart.tickmarks.dot.color"></a>
|
|
<b>chart.tickmarks.dot.color</b><br />
|
|
This is the color of the BORDER around the dot/borderedcircle style tickmarks. <br />
|
|
<i>Default: #fff</i><br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="chart.tickmarks.linewidth"></a>
|
|
<b>chart.tickmarks.linewidth</b><br />
|
|
This is the width of the line used when drawing the tickmarks. By default this is the same as the chart.linewidth setting.<br />
|
|
<i>Default: null</i><br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="chart.stepped"></a>
|
|
<b>chart.stepped</b><br />
|
|
Draws the line as stepped. Useful for showing stock performance for example.<br />
|
|
<i>Default: false</i><br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="chart.linewidth"></a>
|
|
<b>chart.linewidth</b><br />
|
|
The width of the line (ie the actual line on the chart). Note: If your line is stepped and filled, and you don't want a trailing line indicating the last value, you can set this to zero.<br />
|
|
<i>Default: 1</i><br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="chart.variant"></a>
|
|
<b>chart.variant</b><br />
|
|
At present this can only be <i>3d</i>, and gives a small 3D effect.<br />
|
|
<i>Default: null</i><br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="chart.animation.unfold.x"></a>
|
|
<b>chart.animation.unfold.x</b><br />
|
|
This is used by the Unfold Line chart animation and dictates whether the X value is unfolded.<br />
|
|
<i>Default: false</i><br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="chart.animation.unfold.y"></a>
|
|
<b>chart.animation.unfold.y</b><br />
|
|
This is used by the Unfold Line chart animation and dictates whether the Y value is unfolded.<br />
|
|
<i>Default: true</i><br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="chart.animation.unfold.initial"></a>
|
|
<b>chart.animation.unfold.initial</b><br />
|
|
This property can be used to set the initial factor for the Unfold animation. Setting this to a value less than one
|
|
will cause the line to expand outwards, whilst a value greater than one will cause the line to contract towards
|
|
the correct values.<br />
|
|
<i>Default: 2</i>
|
|
|
|
</div><!-- /DOCS --><br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<b>chart.chromefix</b><br />
|
|
Since version 6, Chrome has had a shadow bug, which becomes apparent when you use shadow blurring. This value defaults
|
|
to true and means that OfficeExcel will skirt the bug with a small fix.<br /><i>Default: true</i><br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="chart.highlight.stroke"></a>
|
|
<b>chart.highlight.stroke</b><br />
|
|
If you use tooltips, this controls the colour of the highlight stroke.
|
|
<br /><i>Default: black</i><br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="chart.highlight.fill"></a>
|
|
<b>chart.highlight.fill</b><br />
|
|
If you use tooltips, this controls the colour of the highlight fill.
|
|
<br /><i>Default: rgba(255,255,255,0.5)</i><br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="chart.curvy"></a>
|
|
<b>chart.curvy</b><br />
|
|
If you prefer - this draws a more cuvy chart. Because of the curves these charts are not exact, and the inaccuracy increases
|
|
with a greater curve factor (controlled by the next property). Being new, this property may not work with all the line chart features
|
|
and should be used with caution.
|
|
<br /><i>Default: false</i><br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<a name="chart.curvy.factor"></a>
|
|
<b>chart.curvy.factor</b><br />
|
|
This controls the severity of the curves when the above property is used. It can be a decimal from 0 (not curvy at all)
|
|
to 0.5 (quite curvy).
|
|
<br /><i>Default: 0.25</i><br /><br />

<h2>Methods</h2>
|
|
|
|
<a href="getPoint"></a>
|
|
<b>obj.getPoint(event)</b><br /><br />
|
|
This method makes it easier to get hold of which point on the Line chart has been hovered over. It returns an array of:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The chart object</li>
|
|
<li>The X coordinate</li>
|
|
<li>The Y coordinate</li>
|
|
<li>The numerical index of the point. This corresponds (for example) to the tooltips array, and the coordinates array</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
An example usage is:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="code">
|
|
<canvas id="cvs" width="600" height="300">[No canvas support]</canvas>
|
|

<script>
|

myGraph = new OfficeExcel.Line('cvs', [10,4,2,4,1]);
|
|
myGraph.Set('chart.hmargin', 10);
|
|
myGraph.Set('chart.tickmarks', 'endcircle');
|
|
myGraph.Set('chart.labels', ['Fred','John','Kev','Lou','Pete']);

if (point) {
|
|
|
|
canvas.style.cursor = 'pointer';

// Is this the same tooltip as the one (if any) that's already being shown
|

|
|
|
|
|
<a name="getShape"></a>
|
|
<b>obj.getShape(event)</b>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This method is an alternate name for the above method but has a generic name that is the same acoss the various libraries.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="getValue"></a>
|
|
<b>obj.getValue(mixed)</b>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This method can be used to get the value at a particular point or at the mouse coordinates, based on the scale that is in use.
|
|
Not simply the coordinates of the mouse. The argument can either be an event object (for use in event listener functions) OR a two element
|
|
array consisting of the X and Y coordinates (ie when you're not necessarily in an event listener). It returns null if the mouse
|
|
or coordinates are in the gutter areas. An example:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="code">
|
|
myChart.canvas.onclick = function (e)
|
|
{
|
|
var obj = e.target.__object__;
|
|
var value = obj.getValue(e);
|

<h2>Combining the Line and Bar charts</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can combine the Bar and Line charts with a bit of magic. It's actually quite easy to do. <a href="combine.html">Find out more here</a>.
|
|
In the same vein, you can have Y axes on both the left and right.
|
|
</p>
|

|
<a name="alternative.colors"></a>
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<h2>Alternative colors</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Instead of a string stipulating the color, each element of the colors array can itself be a two element array,
|
|
stipulating the up color, and the down color. To use alternating colors you must also stipulate the alternate property:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="code">
|
|
myLine.Set('chart.colors.alternate', true);
|
|
myLine.Set('chart.colors', ['red', ['blue', 'yellow'], 'green]);
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<a name="filled.accumulative"></a>
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<h2>Accumulative filled Line charts</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The default behaviour of filled Line charts is to "stack" the lines on top of each other. This allows them all
|
|
to be totally visible, no matter what (unless a line has a zero value of course). If this is not desired, then there is an
|
|
option (<i>chart.filled.accumulative</i> - true/false) to change this behaviour so the lines are plotted "as-is".
|
|
Keep in mind that if you set this option to false (ie the Lines are plotted as-is) it may be wiser to use
|
|
semi-transparent colors or some parts of data sets (or even entire data sets) may be hidden by others. There's a
|
|
comparison of the different modes <a href="line_filled.html">here</a>.

|
|
<a name="custom.tickmarks"></a>
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<h2>Custom tickmarks</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If none of the available tickmark styles are suitable, you can instead specify a function object that draws the tickmark,
|
|
enabling you to draw the tickmark yourself. For example:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="code">
|
|
<script>
|
|
line.Set('chart.tickmarks', myTick);
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* The function that is called once per tickmark, to draw it
|
|
*
|
|
* @param object obj The chart object
|
|
* @param array data The entire line data
|
|
* @param number value The individual points value
|
|
* @param number index The current index, in the data array
|
|
* @param number x The X coordinate
|
|
* @param number y The Y coordinate
|
|
* @param string color The color of the line
|
|
* @param number prevX The previous X coordinate
|
|
* @param number prevY The previous Y coordinate
|
|
*/
|
|
function myTick (obj, data, value, index, x, y, color, prevX, prevY)
|
|
{
|
|
// Draw your custom tick here
|
|
}
|
|
</script>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<a name="coords2"></a>
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<h2>The coords2 array</h2>
|
|
|
|
An alternative method of indexing the chart coordinates is available in <i>obj.coords2</i>. With this array, all of the first
|
|
lines coordinates are available in <i>obj.coords2[0]</i>, the second lines coordinates in <i>obj.coords2[1]</i> and so on.
|
|
|
|
<h2>The __index2__ property on tooltips</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When showing tooltips, one property of the tooltip is <i>.__index2__</i>. This is the index that pertains to the
|
|
individual dataset. In a function called from the <i>ontooltip</i> event you can access it like this:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="code">
|
|
function myFunc (obj)
|
|
{
|
|
var idx = OfficeExcel.Registry.Get('chart.tooltip').__index2__;
|
|
}
|
|
OfficeExcel.AddCustomEventListener(myObject, 'ontooltip', myFunc );
|
|
