GraphElement.addVar(field)

Add a variable or measure to a GraphElement object. A variable is plotted on the Y-axis.

Parameter

field: String containing name of variable

Example

Chart Component Script

dataset = [["State", "Quantity", "Total"],["NY",550,2500],["NJ",370,3000]]; (1)
graph = new EGraph();
var elem = new LineElement("State","Quantity"); (2)
elem.addVar("Total"); (3)
graph.addElement(elem); (4)

1	See dataset to use a data block instead of an array literal.
2	Create the `LineElement` object.
3	Use `addVar` to add the ‘Total’ measure.
4	Use `addElement` to add the LineElement to the Chart.

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)
elem.addVar("Total");
