LabelForm.setLabel(value)

GraphForm

Specifies the text of the label. (Use “\n” to insert newline.) The corresponding “getter” function is getLabel(). Use DefaultTextFrame to automatically use data values as element labels.

Parameter

value: a String containing label text

Example

Chart Component Script

dataset = [["State", "Quantity"], ["NJ", 200], ["NY", 300]]; (1)
graph = new EGraph();
var elem = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity");
var form = new LabelForm(); (2)
form.setLabel("Hello\nWorld"); (3)
form.setValues(['NY', 100]);
graph.addForm(form); (4)
graph.addElement(elem);

1	See dataset to use a data block instead of an array literal.
2	Create the LabelForm object.
3	Use `setLabel()` to set the label.
4	Use EGraph.addForm(form) to add the `GraphForm` 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.
