CR.7.30  CategoricalShapeFrame

CategoricalShapeFrame.setShape(val,shape)

The CategoricalShapeFrame object contains a shape style for visual chart objects, rendering a unique shape for each discrete value. To create a CategoricalShapeFrame object, call the CategoricalShapeFrame constructor.

var frame = new CategoricalShapeFrame('State');

You can pass the name of a field (e.g., 'State') to the constructor, or specify this later using the inherited VisualFrame.setField(field) property.

Note: Report script that modifies 'bindingInfo' should be placed in the onLoad handler.

Example (Report)

Bind a point-type chart to the sample 'All Sales' query, with 'Company' (top 5) on the X-axis, and Sum(Total) on the Y-axis. Add the following script in the onLoad handler.

Example

Chart1.bindingInfo.setShapeField("Employee",Chart.STRING);

Chart1.bindingInfo.shapeFrame = new CategoricalShapeFrame;

 

Note: Script that modifies 'graph' should be placed at the element level. See Adding Element-Level Script in Report Scripting and Adding Component Script in Dashboard Scripting for more information.

Example (Report or Viewsheet)

dataset = [["State","Quantity","Rep"], ["NJ",200,"John"], ["NY",300,"Sue"], ["PA",75,"Sue"], ["CT", 120,"John"]];

graph = new EGraph();

var elem = new PointElement("State", "Quantity")

var frame = new CategoricalShapeFrame("Rep");

elem.setShapeFrame(frame);

graph.addElement(elem);
