ShapeForm.setPoint(value)

Specifies the pixel location or proportional location where the shape is placed. (Positive values specify distance from left/bottom. Negative values specify distance from right/top.) The corresponding “getter” function is getPoint().

Parameter

value

a subclass of java.awt.geom.Point2D
(e.g., java.awt.Point for pixels, java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double for proportion)

Example

Chart Component Script
dataset = [["State","Quantity"], ["NJ",200], ["NY",300]]; (1)
graph = new EGraph();
var elem = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity");
var shape1 = new ShapeForm(); (2)
var shape2 = new ShapeForm(); (2)
shape1.setPoint(new java.awt.Point(150, 100)); (3)
shape1.setShape(GShape.FILLED_TRIANGLE);
shape1.setColor(java.awt.Color(0xff0000));
shape1.setSize(new java.awt.Dimension(10,10));
shape2.setPoint(new java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double(.5,.5)); (4)
shape2.setShape(GShape.FILLED_TRIANGLE);
shape2.setColor(java.awt.Color(0xff0000));
shape2.setSize(new java.awt.Dimension(20,20));
graph.addForm(shape1); (5)
graph.addForm(shape2); (5)
graph.addElement(elem);
1 See dataset to use a data block instead of an array literal.
2 Create the ShapeForm object.
3 Use setPoint() to set shape1 points in pixels.
4 Use setPoint() to set shape2 points proportionally.
5 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.

To change the property on a Chart that was previously created with the Chart Editor, you do not need to add a Chart element. For example:

var shape1 = new ShapeForm();
var shape2 = new ShapeForm();
shape1.setPoint(new java.awt.Point(150, 100));
shape1.setShape(GShape.FILLED_TRIANGLE);
shape1.setColor(java.awt.Color(0xff0000));
shape1.setSize(new java.awt.Dimension(10,10));
shape2.setPoint(new java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double(.5,.5));
shape2.setShape(GShape.FILLED_TRIANGLE);
shape2.setColor(java.awt.Color(0xff0000));
shape2.setSize(new java.awt.Dimension(20,20));
graph.addForm(shape1);
graph.addForm(shape2);
