GraphElement.setLineFrame(frame)

Specifies the aesthetic line style of graphical elements. A LineFrame can line-code chart elements by value, or simply specify a static line style. The corresponding “getter” function is getLineFrame().

Parameter

frame: A LineFrame object

Example

Chart Component Script

dataset = [["State", "Quantity"], ["CA", 200], ["NY", 300]]; (1)
graph = new EGraph();
var elem = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity"); (2)
var frame = new StaticLineFrame(); (3)
frame.setLine(GLine.LARGE_DASH);
elem.setLineFrame(frame); (4)
graph.addElement(elem); (5)

1	See dataset to use a data block instead of an array literal.
2	Create the `IntervalElement` object.
3	Create a `LineFrame` object.
4	Use `setLineFrame` to assign the `LineFrame` 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 StaticLineFrame();
frame.setLine(GLine.LARGE_DASH);
elem.setLineFrame(frame);
