<h2>Methods</h2>
<a name="getbar"></a>
<b>obj.getBar(event)</b><br /><br />
This method makes it easier to get hold of which bar has been clicked on, or 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 width of the bar</li>
<li>The height of the bar</li>
<li>The numerical index of the bar. This corresponds (for example) to the tooltips array, and the coordinates array</li>
</ul>
An example usage is:
<pre class="code">
&lt;canvas id="cvs" width="600" height="250"&gt;[No canvas support]&lt;/canvas&gt;
&lt;script src="OfficeExcel.common.core.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script src="OfficeExcel.bar.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script&gt;
myGraph = new OfficeExcel.Bar('myCanvas', [1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5,6,1.9,2,2.1,2.5]);
myGraph.Set('chart.labels', ['John', 'Barry', 'Rich', 'Craig', 'Tom', 'Frank', 'Helen', 'Joyce', 'Fred'])
myGraph.Draw();
OfficeExcel.Register(myGraph);
myGraph.canvas.onclick = function (e)
{
OfficeExcel.Redraw();
var canvas = e.target;
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var obj = canvas.__object__;
<span style="color: green">var coords = obj.getBar(e);</span>
if (coords) {
var top = coords[1];
var left = coords[2];
var width = coords[3];
var height = coords[4];
context.beginPath();
context.strokeStyle = 'black';
context.fillStyle = 'rgba(255,255,255,0.5)';
context.strokeRect(top, left, width, height);
context.fillRect(top, left, width, height);
context.stroke();
context.fill();
}
}
&lt;/script&gt;
</pre>
<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);
// ...
}
</pre>
