StarShapeFrame

The StarShapeFrame object contains the shape styles for multi-dimensional “star” (closed line) elements. To create a StarShapeFrame object, call the StarShapeFrame constructor.

var frame = new StarShapeFrame("m1","m2","m3");

You can pass a set of field names (e.g., ‘m1’, ‘m2’, ‘m3’) to the constructor, or specify this later using the inherited MultiShapeFrame.setFields(arr) function.

Example

Chart Component Script

dataset = [["State", "Quantity","m1","m2","m3"], ["NJ", 200,5,1,3], ["NY", 300,3,4,4]]; (1)
graph = new EGraph();
var frame = new StarShapeFrame(); (2)
var elem = new PointElement("State", "Quantity");
frame.setFields(["m1","m2","m3"]);
elem.setShapeFrame(frame); (3)
graph.addElement(elem);

1	See dataset to use a data block instead of an array literal.
2	Create the `StarShapeFrame` object.
3	Use GraphElement.setShapeFrame(frame) to add the `ShapeFrame` to the PointElement.

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.
