GraphElement.getTextSpec(field)

Retrieves the TextSpec for a field representing text attributes such as color, font, format, etc. The corresponding “setter” function is GraphElement.setTextSpec(spec).

Parameters

field: Name of a data field (String), including aggregation operator

Returns

A TextSpec object

Example

Chart Component Script

var elem = graph.getElement(0); (1)
var spec = elem.getTextSpec("Sum(Product:Total)"); (2)
spec.setColor(java.awt.Color(0xff0000)); (3)

1	Obtain a handle to the `GraphElement` object.
2	Use `getTextSpec` to obtain a handle to the `TextSpec` for the `Product:Total` measure.
3	Set the desired properties of the `TextSpec` object.

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:

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.
