Public, safe interface for Panels rendering engine.
Scale for panel area in pixels.
Scale for panel area in percentages (0-100).
Add a legendbox.
Legendbox is a type of UI element, that floats inside the chart/component it is created inside. It can be freely moved around with user interactions, as well as positioned in application code.
The purpose of legendbox is to describe the series and other visual components of the chart, by displaying their names and colors. Hovering over a series' legendbox entry will highlight that series, and clicking on the entry will toggle that series' visibility.
Legendbox alignment:
Alignment of legendbox can be selected by supplying one of the available LegendBoxBuilders to addLegendBox
:
// Default (vertical) LegendBox.
const legendBox = ChartXY.addLegendBox()
// Horizontal LegendBox.
const horizontalLegendBox = ChartXY.addLegendBox(LegendBoxBuilders.HorizontalLegendBox)
Custom Legendbox positioning:
By default LegendBoxes are placed on the right side, or bottom of the chart (depending on alignment).
A custom location can be configured with UIElement API:
Position coordinate system is specified when creating legendbox.
addLegendBox( LegendBoxBuilders.VerticalLegendBox )
// Position = [0, 100] as percentages.
.setPosition({ x: 50, y: 50 })
addLegendBox( LegendBoxBuilders.VerticalLegendBox, chart.pixelScale )
// Position = pixels.
.setPosition({ x: 300, y: 100 })
addLegendBox( LegendBoxBuilders.VerticalLegendBox, { x: chartXY.getDefaultAxisX(), y: chartXY.getDefaultAxisY() } )
// Position = Axis values.
.setPosition({ x: 5, y: 5 })
LegendBoxBuilder. If omitted, VerticalLegendBox will be selected. Use LegendBoxBuilders for selection.
Optional parameter for altering the coordinate system used for positioning the LegendBox. Defaults to whole Chart in percentages [0, 100].
Object with two interfaces: LegendBox and UIElement.
Add a stand-alone UIElement using a builder.
Example usage:
addUIElement( UIElementBuilders.TextBox )
// Position = [0, 100] as percentages.
.setPosition({ x: 50, y: 50 })
addUIElement( UIElementBuilders.TextBox, chart.pixelScale )
// Position = pixels.
.setPosition({ x: 300, y: 100 })
addUIElement( UIElementBuilders.TextBox, { x: chartXY.getDefaultAxisX(), y: chartXY.getDefaultAxisY() } )
// Position = Axis values.
.setPosition({ x: 5, y: 5 })
Type of UIElement that is specified by 'builder'-parameter.
UIElementBuilder. If omitted, TextBoxBuilder will be selected. Use UIElementBuilders for selection.
Optional parameter for altering the coordinate system used for positioning the UIElement. Defaults to whole Chart in percentages [0, 100].
