BarShapeFrame

The BarShapeFrame object contains the shape styles for multidimensional “mini-bar chart” elements. To create a BarShapeFrame object, call the BarShapeFrame constructor.

var frame = new BarShapeFrame("m1","m2","m3");

You can pass a set of field names (e.g., ‘m1’, ‘m2’, ‘m3’) to the constructor, or specify this later using the inherited MultiShapeFrame.setFields(arr) property. The dimensions are mapped to the bar heights from left to right.

Example

Chart Component Script
dataset = [["State", "Quantity","m1","m2","m3"], ["NJ", 200,5,1,3], ["NY", 300,3,4,4]]; (1)
graph = new EGraph();
var frame = new BarShapeFrame(); (2)
var elem = new PointElement("State", "Quantity");
frame.setFields(["m1","m2","m3"]); (3)
elem.setShapeFrame(frame); (4)
graph.addElement(elem);
1 See dataset to use a data block instead of an array literal.
2 Create the ShapeFrame object.
3 Use setFields to specify the fields for the BarShapeFrame.
4 Use GraphElement.setShapeFrame(frame) to add the ShapeFrame to the Chart.

BarShapeFrame

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.
