GraphElement.setTextFrame(frame)

Specifies the data values to be displayed on the chart elements as text, as well as the mapping between element values and displayed text. The corresponding “getter” function is GraphElement.getTextFrame().

Parameter

frame: A TextFrame object

Example

Chart Component Script

dataset = [["State", "Quantity"], ["CA", 200], ["NY", 300]]; (1)
graph = new EGraph();
var elem = new PointElement("State", "Quantity"); (2)
var frame = new DefaultTextFrame(); (3)
frame.setField("Quantity");
elem.setTextFrame(frame); (4)
graph.addElement(elem);  (5)

1	See dataset to use a data block instead of an array literal.
2	Create the `PointElement` object.
3	Create a `TextFrame` object.
4	Use `setTextFrame` to assign the `TextFrame` to the `PointElement`.
5	Use `addElement` to add the `PointElement` to the Chart.

GraphElementsetTextFrame

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 DefaultTextFrame();
frame.setField("Quantity");
elem.setTextFrame(frame);
