XY-Chart

XY Charts contain one or more data sets. Each data set can be rendered as a series
of symbols, connected by lines and with the area beneath filled. The display of symbols,
lines and area fill is optional for each data set.

 

LineSets

	LineSets = (name1, color1), (name2, color2),...;

Defines a list of line set tuples with the following attributes in each tuple:

"Name" Name assigned to this data set
SymColor Color to be used by default for all symbols and lines associated with this line set.

By default, the Name and SymColor assigned to each data set will be used in the Legend.

At most 50 line sets may be displayed.

If a color is not specified in the vector, then the previously specified color will be used. If the color is specified as "null", then a default color will be chosen from the color table. (See the ColorTable parameter.)

 

LineAxis

	LineAxis = (XAxis1, YAxis1), (XAxis2, YAxis2), ...;

The XAxis and YAxis attributes define the specific axis to be used when mapping the X and Y values respectively for each data set defined. The XAxis attribute may be set to BOTTOM or TOP, while the YAxis may be set to LEFT or RIGHT.

 

LineSet[1–50] 

	LineSet[1–50] = (x1,y1), (x2,y2), ...;

Defines a list of (x,y) values for each line set defined by the LineSets parameter. If "null" is substituted for either or both of the x/y pair value's, the point will not be drawn.

 

LineColorTable[1-50]

	LineColorTableN = color1, color2, ...;

Defines a set of colors for dataset N that overrides all other color specifications for that set. The parameters used for specifying the color of data points in a chart are (in ascending order of precedence) ColorTable, LineSets, LineSymbol, LineFillPattern and LineColorTable. LineColorTableN is used most frequently to color some specific point. For example: 

		  	LineColorTable2 = ,,blue;
will change the third point in the second series to blue, while all other points in the chart continue to be colored by one of the other color related parameters.

 

LineSymbol

   LineSymbol = (type1, size1, style1, borderColor1,
                 borderWidth1, image1,symbolColor,shadowWidth),...

This parameter specifies the symbols to be displayed for one or more line sets. That is, the first tuple defines the symbol for the first line set, and so on. The following attribute values are supported:

Type Type of symbol to be displayed, including: 

NONE, CIRCLE, SQUARE, DIAMOND, CROSS,TARGET
TRIANGLEDOWN, TRIANGLEUP, IMAGE

If NONE is specified, then no symbol is displayed. If IMAGE is specified, then the image attribute will be used to load a GIF image for the symbol.

Size Specifies the size of the symbol in pixels. This attribute is ignored for IMAGE symbols.
Style  Specifies how the symbol should be drawn, including FILLED, OUTLINED, or BOTH. If FILLED is specified, the symbol is filled with the line set color. If OUTLINED is specified, only the outline is drawn, using the line set color. If BOTH is specified, then the symbol is filled with the line set color and the outline is drawn using the borderColor.
BorderColor The color used when drawing the outline of a symbol with style BOTH.
BorderWidth The width of the outline for a symbol with style OUTLINED or BOTH.
Image The URL of a GIF image file to be used as the symbol when the type attribute is set to IMAGE. Transparent images are supported (GIF89 format).
SymbolColor The color when used for drawing a symbol.
ShadowWidth The size of the shadow drawn behind the symbol. Any number other than 0 causes NetCharts to choose a shadow size based on the size of the symbol. Specifying a value of 0 suppresses the shadow.

This parameter is processed AFTER the deprecated DataSets parameter (which included symbol attributes) and any attributes specified in that parameter will be overridden by those specified in this parameter.

 

LineStyle

	LineStyle = (type1, width1, color1, fillColor1),...

This parameter specifies the line style to be displayed for one or more line sets. That is, the first tuple defines the symbol for the first line set, and so on. The following attribute values are supported:

Type Specifies the style of the line to be drawn, as follows: 

NONE, SOLID, DOTTED, DASHED, DOTDASH

If NONE is specified, then no line is drawn between the symbols in the given line set.

Width The width of the line in pixels. Default width is 1.
Color The color of the line. Default color is the color of the line set itself.
FillColor If this attribute is not "null", then the area under the lineset will be filled with the given color.
LineType 
NORMAL - Normal line
FIT    - Draws a spline curve approximation
BOTH   - Draws both a normal line and a spline curve approximation

 

Line3DDepth

	Line3DDepth = depth;

If depth is greater than 1, then all line sets will be displayed as 3D lines, in separate rows, much like the ROWS GraphType in NFBarchartApp. The max amount of space allocated to each line in the Z dimension will be "depth" pixels.

The default value is 0.

 

LineWidth

	LineWidth = percent;

This percentage value (0-100) or (0.0-1.0) determines the amount of space actually used to display 3D lines when Line3DDepth is greater than 1. If 100 percent is specified, then each line will completely fill the amount of space specified by Line3DDepth in the Z dimension. If 50 percent is specified, then each line will occupy only 50 percent of that space, which will result in a visible separation between each line set.

The default value is 100.

 

LineLabels

    LineLabels1 = ("OUTLINE", "fr22383.html", "frame1");

LineLabels[1-50] defines sets of sets of active label destinations for the lines in a line graph, and maps to DataSets, which must also be specified. Using this element also requires use of the ActiveClicks element. You might use this in creating active labels for a chart with multiple lines and thus datasets.

 

Label  
URL  
Target  

 

LineValueLabel

   LineValueLabel = ("mode", color, "font name", font size, angle, interiorAlignment);

Defines the label value to be displayed near each point in a lineset.

Valid mode values are "ON" and "OFF", the default value is "ON". 

   example: ("ON",black,"Helvetica",18,0);

This parameter was introduced in NetCharts 4.0.

 

LineValueLabelBox

LineValueLabelBox = (color,bordertype,borderwidth); 
   example:(grey,RAISED,3);

Defines the label box to be displayed near each point in a lineset.
Values are as follows:

 Color  The color of the region. If an image attribute is also defined, this color is drawn first, followed by the image, allowing this color to show through any transparent parts of the image.
BorderType  The following border styles are supported: 
NONE    - No border
BOX     - Simple Box outline
SHADOW  - Shadow border
RAISED  - Raised border
RECESS  - Recessed border
When the BOX and SHADOW styles are specified, the border color will be black. When the RAISED and RECESS styles are specified, the border color will be chosen based on the region color.
 BorderWidth  This attribute defines the width of the border in pixels.

This parameter was introduced in NetCharts 4.0.

 

LineValueLabelStyle

   LineValueLabelStyle = labelposition1,labelposition2 ..., labelpositionN;

Defines where the LineValueLabel text will be justified for each point in a dataset. 

    example: LineValueLableStyle = CENTER, TOP;

Available justification options for LineValueLabelStyle are:

CENTER Center of the lineset datapoint
BOTTOM Bottom of the lineset datapoint
TOP Top of the lineset datapoint
LEFT Left of the lineset datapoint
RIGHT Right of the lineset datapoint
TOP RIGHT Top Right of the lineset datapoint
BOTTOM RIGHT Bottom Right of the lineset of the lineset datapoint
TOP LEFT Top Left of the lineset datapoint
BOTTOM LEFT Bottom Left of the lineset of the lineset datapoint
NONE No line labels display

This parameter was introduced in NetCharts 4.0.

 

AddDataPoint

   AddDataPoint = (LineSetNumber, X, Y, label, url, target), ...

This is ONLY to be used if plotting dynamically, and must be the only command sent followed by the Update command. This parameter allows the XY chart to be updated rapidly without refreshing the screen or reconfiguring the layout. The "label", "url", and "target" fields are optional, and if specified, are used to define an ActiveLabel for the given data point. If "null" is substituted for either or both of the x/y pair value's, the point will not be drawn.
