GraphElement.setColorFrame(frame)

Specifies the aesthetic color treatment for the chart elements. A ColorFrame can color-code chart elements by value, or simply specify a static color scheme. The corresponding “getter” function is GraphElement.getColorFrame().

Parameter

frame: A ColorFrame object

Example

Chart Component Script

dataset = [["State", "Quantity"], ["NJ", 200], ["NY", 300]]; (1)
graph = new EGraph();
var frame = new HeatColorFrame(); (2)
var elem = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity"); (3)
frame.setField("Quantity");
elem.setColorFrame(frame); (4)
graph.addElement(elem); (5)

1	See dataset to use a data block instead of an array literal.
2	Create a `ColorFrame` object.
3	Create the `IntervalElement` object.
4	Use `setColorFrame` to assign the `ColorFrame` to the `IntervalElement`.
5	Use `addElement` to add the `IntervalElement` 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)
var frame = new HeatColorFrame();
frame.setField("Quantity");
elem.setColorFrame(frame);
