Flag that indicates whether the Attachable should be hidden or not, when its respective Entry is clicked.
By default, entries are assigned a smooth looking gradient based on the component color. If this flag is true, then this is skipped, and exact component solid fill is used instead.

Permanently destroy the component.
To fully allow Garbage-Collection to free the resources used by the component, make sure to remove any references to the component and its children in application code.

Get whether series is taken into account with automatic scrolling and fitting of attached axes.
By default, this is true for all series.
true default, axes will take series into account in scrolling and fitting operations.
false, axes will ignore series boundaries.
Read whether series rendering should be clipped to the area enclosed by its owning axes or not. All series rendering is ALWAYS clipped so that it doesn't leak outside the owning charts series area. However, it is optional whether the series rendering should be able to leak outside the series owning axes viewport, which might be smaller than the charts viewport (for example, when using stacked axes).
By default, clipping is enabled (true).
True or false.

Get theme effect enabled on component or disabled.
A theme can specify an Effect to add extra visual oomph to chart applications, like Glow effects around data or other components.
Whether this effect is drawn above a particular component can be configured using the setEffect method.
// Example, disable theme effect from a particular component.
Component.setEffect(false)
For the most part, theme effects are enabled by default on most components.
Theme effect is configured with effect property.
Boolean that describes whether drawing the theme effect is enabled around the component or not.
Get active state of automatic packing. If packing is active, this tells how long time is represented by 1 figure (candle, bar, etc.).
This information is not necessarily up to date when the method is called. If you are using methods like add, setFigureWidth etc.
before calling the method you may need to wait 1 frame (requestAnimationFrame) before calling this method to get the proper result.

Set component highlight animations enabled or not. For most components this is enabled by default.

Set whether series is taken into account with automatic scrolling and fitting of attached axes.
By default, this is true for all series.
By setting this to false, any series can be removed from axis scrolling/fitting.
// Example syntax, remove series from automatic scrolling / fitting.
LineSeries.setAutoScrollingEnabled(false)
Object itself for fluent interface.
true default, axes will take series into account in scrolling and fitting operations.
false, axes will ignore series boundaries.
Configure whether series rendering should be clipped to the area enclosed by its owning axes or not. All series rendering is ALWAYS clipped so that it doesn't leak outside the owning charts series area. However, it is optional whether the series rendering should be able to leak outside the series owning axes viewport, which might be smaller than the charts viewport (for example, when using stacked axes).
By default, clipping is enabled (true).
// Example, disable clipping, allowing the series rendering to leak outside its own axes.
SeriesXY.setClipping(false)
Object itself
Clipping enabled or disabled.
Configure whether cursors should pick on this particular series or not.
// Example, prevent chart auto cursor from snapping to a series.

Beta
Set override behavior for when this series is formatted to be displayed by a cursor. This can be used to alter and expand on cursor formatting done for a specific series, either by the library's default cursor formatters or even the users own cursor formatters defined on chart level.
// Example syntax, add extra row to display a custom data property
series.setCursorFormattingOverride((hit, before) => {
if (!isHitSampleXY(hit)) return before
const customPropertyValue = data[hit.iSample].customProperty
return [...before, ['ASD', '', customPropertyValue.toFixed(3)]]
})
To use this with users own cursor formatters, you can use useCursorFormatterSeriesOverride:
// Example syntax, define custom cursor formatting with support for series overrides
chart.setCursorFormatting((_, __, hits) => {
return [
[hits[0].axisX.formatValue(hits[0].x)],
...hits.map((hit) => useCursorFormatterSeriesOverride(hit, [['Y:', '', hit.axisY.formatValue(hit.y)]])).flat(),
]
})

Configure draw order of the series.
The drawing order of series inside same chart can be configured by configuring their seriesDrawOrderIndex.
This is a simple number that indicates which series is drawn first, and which last.
The values can be any JS number, even a decimal. Higher number results in series being drawn closer to the top.
By default, each series is assigned a running counter starting from 0 and increasing by 1 for each series.
// Example, create 2 series and configure them to be drawn in reverse order.
const series1 = ChartXY.addLineSeries()
.setDrawOrder({ seriesDrawOrderIndex: 1 })
const series2 = ChartXY.addLineSeries()
.setDrawOrder({ seriesDrawOrderIndex: 0 })
// Example, ensure a series is drawn above other series.
SeriesXY.setDrawOrder({ seriesDrawOrderIndex: 1000 })
Object itself.
Object with seriesDrawOrderIndex property.
Set theme effect enabled on component or disabled.
A theme can specify an Effect to add extra visual oomph to chart applications, like Glow effects around data or other components.
Whether this effect is drawn above a particular component can be configured using the setEffect method.
// Example, disable theme effect from a particular component.
Component.setEffect(false)
For the most part, theme effects are enabled by default on most components.
Theme effect is configured with effect property.

Set state of component highlighting.
// Example usage
component.setHighlight(true)

Object itself

OHLC Series is only usable with a Trading license for LightningChart JS
Creating OHLCSeries:
OHLCSeriesare created with addOHLCSeries method.Some properties of
OHLCSeriescan only be configured when it is created. These arguments are all optional, and are wrapped in a single object parameter:To learn about available properties, refer to OHLCSeriesOptions.
Frequently used methods:
There are 2 types of OHLC series, each with their own styling API:
By default, candlesticks are created, bars can be selected using type property.
