LineForm.setStartArrow(boolean)

Specifies whether an arrow should be drawn at the start of the line (i.e., at the first point specified for the line form).

Type

Boolean
 true: draw arrow
 false: no arrow

importPackage(inetsoft.graph.scale)
importPackage(inetsoft.graph.aesthetic)

var elem = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity");
var form = new LineForm();
form.addPoint(new java.awt.Point(0,0));
form.addPoint(new java.awt.Point(100,100));
form.setStartArrow(true);
form.setColor(java.awt.Color(0xff0000));
graph.addForm(form);
graph.addElement(elem);

LineForm.addTuple(value)

Specifies a point defining the line in logical space. The coordinates of the points are relative to the prevailing axis scaling.

Type

value
 An [X,Y] pair

Example (Report or Viewsheet)

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.

var form = new LineForm();
form.addTuple([.5, 0]);
form.addTuple([.5, 200]);
form.addTuple([1,100]);
form.setColor(java.awt.Color(0xff0000));
graph.addForm(form);
graph.addElement(elem);

LineForm.addValues(value)

Specifies a point defining the line in logical space. The coordinates of the points are relative to prevailing axis scaling prior to transformation. So, for a categorical X-axis (e.g., 'NJ', 'NY', 'PA', etc.), the X-values of points should specify a categorical value (e.g., 'NJ').

Type

value
 an [X,Y] pair

form.addValues(['NJ', 200]);
form.addValues(['NY', 100]);
form.setColor(java.awt.Color(0xff0000));
graph.addForm(form);
graph.addElement(elem);

RectForm.setBottomRightPoint(value)

Specifies the pixel location (integer values) or proportional location (fractional values) defining the bottom right corner of the rectangle. (Positive values specify distance from left/bottom. Negative values specify distance from right/top.)

Type

value a subclass of java.awt.geom.Point2D
 e.g.,
 java.awt.Point for pixels
 java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double for proportion

RectForm.setBottomRightTuple(value)

Specifies the point in logical space for the bottom right corner of the rectangle. The coordinates of the point are relative to the prevailing axis scaling.

Type

graph.addElement(new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity"))

RectForm.setBottomRightValues(value)

Specifies the point in logical space for the bottom right corner of the rectangle. The coordinates of the point are relative to prevailing axis scaling prior to transformation. So, for a categorical X-axis (e.g., 'NJ', 'NY', 'PA', etc.), the X-value of bottomRightValues should specify a categorical value (e.g., 'NJ').
