LinearScale.setMinorIncrement(value)

Specifies the minor interval between values on the LinearScale. When the scale is applied to an axis, this is the interval between tick marks displayed on the axis. The corresponding “getter” function is getMinorIncrement().

Parameter

value

Number specifying interval between ticks

Example

Chart Component Script
dataset = [["State", "Quantity"], ["NJ",200], ["NY",300]]; (1)
graph = new EGraph();
var qscale = new LinearScale("Quantity"); (2)
qscale.setIncrement(50); (3)
var elem = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity");
qscale.setMinorIncrement(10); (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 setIncrement to set the desired major increment.
4 Use setMinorIncrement to set the desired minor increment.
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);
scale.setMinorIncrement(10000);
