LineFrame

The LineFrame object contains the line design for visual chart objects. LineFrame objects allow you to represent additional data dimensions by using the physical attributes of chart elements, or to apply a fixed (static) line style. To create a LineFrame, use a constructor such as LinearLineFrame or StaticLineFrame

Example 1

Chart Component Script
dataset = [["State", "Quantity"], ["NJ",200], ["NY",300], ["PA",100]]; (1)
graph = new EGraph();
var elem = new LineElement("State", "Quantity");
var frame = new StaticLineFrame(); (2)
frame.setLine(GLine.DASH_LINE);
// or frame.setLine(new GLine(10,5));
elem.setLineFrame(frame); (3)
graph.addElement(elem);
1 See dataset to use a data block instead of an array literal.
2 Create the LineFrame object.
3 Use GraphElement.setLineFrame(frame) to add the LineFrame to the LineElement.

LineFrame2

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.

Example 2

This example illustrates how to use bindingInfo properties to control the LineFrame.

  1. Bind a Bar Chart to the sample ‘All Sales’ Data Worksheet, with ‘Company’ (top 5) on the X-axis, and Sum(Total) on the Y-axis.

    The ‘All Sales’ Data Worksheet can be found in the Data Worksheet  Sample Queries folder. You may need to download the examples.zip file from GitHub into your environment. (This requires access to Enterprise Manager.) See Import and Export Assets for instructions on how to import.

  2. Add the following script in the onRefresh handler. (See Add Dashboard Script.)

    onRefresh Script
    Chart1.bindingInfo.setShapeField("Total",Chart.NUMBER);
Chart1.bindingInfo.lineFrame = new LinearLineFrame;

    LinearLineFrame

    Dashboard script that modifies bindingInfo should generally be placed in the onRefresh handler. See Add Dashboard Script.
