CR.6.12  TimeScale

The TimeScale object contains a time scale, i.e., a scale that linearly maps date and time data values to physical attributes. To create a TimeScale object, call the TimeScale constructor with the fields for which the scale should be generated.

var qscale = new TimeScale('Date');

You can pass the names of the fields (e.g., 'Date') for which the scale should be generated to the constructor, or specify these later using the inherited Scale.setFields(field) property.

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)

var date1 = new Date();

var date2 = new Date();

var maxDate = new Date();

date1.setFullYear(2008,0,1);

date2.setFullYear(2009,0,1);

maxDate.setFullYear(2011,0,1);

dataset = [["Date", "Quantity"], [date1,200], [date2,300]];

graph = new EGraph();

var elem = new IntervalElement("Date","Quantity")

var tscale = new TimeScale();

tscale.setFields(["Date"]);

tscale.setMax(maxDate);

graph.setScale("Date", tscale);

graph.addElement(elem);
