SunShapeFrame
The SunShapeFrame object contains the shape styles for multidimensional “sun” (radial line) elements. To create a SunShapeFrame object, call the SunShapeFrame constructor.
var frame = new SunShapeFrame("m1","m2","m3");
You can pass the name of a field (e.g., ‘m1’, ‘m2’, ‘m3’) to the constructor, or specify this later using the inherited MultiShapeFrame.setFields(arr) property. The dimension values are mapped proportionately to the segment lengths.
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 SunShapeFrame(); (2)
var elem = new PointElement("State", "Quantity");
frame.setFields(["m1","m2","m3"]); (3)
elem.setShapeFrame(frame); (4)
graph.addElement(elem);
| 1 | See dataset to use a data block instead of an array literal. |
| 2 | Create the SunShapeFrame object. |
| 3 | Use the inherited MultiShapeFrame.setFields(arr) property to assign the fields to the SunShapeFrame. |
| 4 | Use GraphElement.setShapeFrame(frame) to add the SunShapeFrame 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.
