LineElement.setStartArrow(Boolean)

Specifies whether an arrow should be drawn at the start of the line (first point). Note: There is no corresponding “getter” function.

Parameters

Boolean

true: draw arrow
false: do not draw arrow

Example

Chart Component Script
dataset = [["State","Quantity"],["NJ",100],["NY",300],["PA",200]]; (1)
graph = new EGraph();
elem = new LineElement("State", "Quantity"); (2)
elem.setStartArrow(true); (3)
graph.addElement(elem); (4)
1 See dataset to use a data block instead of an array literal.
2 Create the LineElement object.
3 Use setStartArrow to place the arrow.
4 Use EGraph.addElement(elem) to add the LineElement 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)
elem.setStartArrow(true);
