AxisSpec.setLabelGap(value)

Specifies the gap between the axis labels and the axis line. The corresponding “getter” function is getLabelGap().

Parameter

value: integer number of pixels to use for gap

Example

Chart Component Script

dataset = [["State","Quantity"],["NJ",20000],["NY",30000]]; (1)
graph = new EGraph();
var elem = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity");
var qscale = new LinearScale("Quantity");
var aspec = new AxisSpec(); (2)
aspec.setLabelGap(30); (3)
qscale.setAxisSpec(aspec);
graph.setScale("Quantity", qscale);
graph.addElement(elem);

1	See dataset to use a data block instead of an array literal.
2	Create the `AxisSpec` object.
3	Use `setLabelGap` to add space next to the axis labels.

Script that modifies the graph or dataset properties should be placed on the Chart component itself. See Add Component Script for more information. This script has access to the Chart data and Chart API methods. Scripted Charts are not good candidates for user-modification, so you should deselect ‘Enable Ad Hoc Editing’ in the Chart Properties dialog box.

To change the property on a Chart that was previously created with the Chart Editor, use EGraph.getCoordinate() ①, RectCoord.getYScale() ②, and Scale.getAxisSpec() ③ to obtain a handle to the desired Coordinate object, Scale object, and so on. For example:

var coord = graph.getCoordinate(); (1)
var scale = coord.getYScale(); (2)
var spec = scale.getAxisSpec(); (3)
// Compact syntax: var xspec = graph.getCoordinate().getXScale().getAxisSpec();

spec.setLabelGap(30);
