TextSpec.setFont(value)

Specifies the text font. The corresponding “getter” function is getFont().

Parameter

value

A java.awt.Font object or a string with the following form: 'FontFamily-FontStyle-FontSize'. The following values are available:

FontFamily

One of the available server fonts, as well as a generic family such as serif and sans serif

FontStyle

FontSize

Any integer value

Example

Chart Component Script

dataset = [["State", "Quantity"], ["NJ", 200], ["NY", 300]]; (1)
graph = new EGraph();
var elem = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity");
var titlespec = new TitleSpec();
var textspec = new TextSpec(); (2)
textspec.setFont(java.awt.Font('Verdana',java.awt.Font.BOLD, 14)); (3)
titlespec.setLabel("X Title");
titlespec.setTextSpec(textspec); (4)
graph.setXTitleSpec(titlespec);
graph.addElement(elem);

1	See dataset to use a data block instead of an array literal.
2	Create the TextSpec object.
3	Use `setFont()` to assign the font to the `TextSpec`.
4	Use TitleSpec.setTextSpec(spec) to assign the `TextSpec` to the `TitleSpec`.

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.getXTitleSpec() ① and TitleSpec.getTextSpec() ② to obtain a handle to the desired TitleSpec and TextSpec. For example:

var titlespec = graph.getXTitleSpec(); (1)
var textspec = titlespec.getTextSpec(); (2)
// Compact syntax: var textspec = graph.getXTitleSpec().getTextSpec();

textspec.setFont(java.awt.Font('Verdana',java.awt.Font.BOLD, 14));
