LinearScale.setMin(value)

Specifies the minimum value of the LinearScale. The corresponding “getter” function is getMin().

Parameter

value

Number specifying the minimum scale value

Example

Chart Component Script
dataset = [["State", "Quantity"], ["NJ",200], ["NY",300]]; (1)
graph = new EGraph();
var qscale = new LinearScale("Quantity"); (2)
var elem = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity");
qscale.setMin(150); (3)
qscale.setMax(450); (4)
graph.setScale("Quantity", qscale); (5)
graph.addElement(elem);
1 See dataset to use a data block instead of an array literal.
2 Create the LinearScale object.
3 Use setMin to set the desired minimum.
4 Use setMax to set the desired maximum.
5 Use EGraph.setScale(field, scale) to assign the Scale 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.getCoordinate() ① and RectCoord.getYScale() ② to obtain a handle to the desired Coordinate and Scale. For example:

var coord = graph.getCoordinate(); (1)
var scale = coord.getYScale(); (2)
// Compact Syntax: var scale = graph.getCoordinate().getYScale();

scale.setMin(2000000);
scale.setMax(15000000);
