GShape.ImageShape.setTile(Boolean)

Specifies whether the image should be stretched to fit the fill area or tiled at the original size. You can also set this using the ImageShape.tile property syntax in onRefresh script. See Example 2 below.

Parameter

Boolean

true: keep original size, and tile to fit
false: stretch to fit (default)

Example 1

Chart Component Script
dataset = [["State", "Quantity"], ["NJ", 200], ["NY", 300]]; (1)
graph = new EGraph();
var elem = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity");
var logo = getImage("https://www.inetsoft.com/images/home/logo.gif");
var shape = new GShape.ImageShape(); (2)
shape.setImage(logo);
shape.setTile(true); (3)
var frame = new StaticShapeFrame(shape); (4)
elem.setShapeFrame(frame); (5)
graph.addElement(elem);
1 See dataset to use a data block instead of an array literal.
2 Create the GShape.ImageShape shape.
3 Use setTile() to tile the image.
4 Pass the shape to the StaticShapeFrame constructor.
5 Use GraphElement.setShapeFrame(frame) to add the ShapeFrame to the IntervalElement.

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 “getter” methods such as EGraph.getElement(index) ① to obtain a handle to the desired GraphElement object. For example:

var elem = graph.getElement(0); (1)
var logo = getImage("https://www.inetsoft.com/images/home/logo.gif");
var shape = new GShape.ImageShape();
shape.setImage(logo);
shape.setTile(true);
var frame = new StaticShapeFrame(shape);
elem.setShapeFrame(frame);

Example 2

This example illustrates how to use bindingInfo properties to control the ShapeFrame.

  1. Bind a Point Chart to the sample ‘All Sales’ Data Worksheet, with ‘Company’ (top 5) on the X-axis, and Sum(Total) on the Y-axis.

    The ‘All Sales’ Data Worksheet can be found in the Data Worksheet  Sample Queries folder. You may need to download the examples.zip file from GitHub into your environment. (This requires access to Enterprise Manager.) See Import and Export Assets for instructions on how to import.

  2. Add the following script in the onRefresh handler. (See Add Dashboard Script.)

    onRefresh Script
    Chart1.bindingInfo.setShapeField("Employee",Chart.STRING);
var logo = getImage("https://www.inetsoft.com/images/home/logo.gif");
var shape = new GShape.ImageShape();
shape.image = logo;
shape.tile = true;
var frame = new StaticShapeFrame(shape);
Chart1.bindingInfo.shapeFrame = frame;

    Dashboard script that modifies bindingInfo should generally be placed in the onRefresh handler. See Add Dashboard Script.
