Class GaugeChart<PublicSlice, InternalSlice>

Abstract base class for Gauge Charts. Gauge charts indicate where your data point(s) falls over a particular range. This chart type is often used in executive dashboard reports to show key business indicators.

There are multiple implementations of GaugeChart, each with their own visual design and API for customizing it. List of selectable options can be found in: GaugeChartTypes

Methods

addLegendBox

  • 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.

    1. LegendBox with default positioning coordinate system.
     addLegendBox( LegendBoxBuilders.VerticalLegendBox )
         // Position = [0, 100] as percentages.
         .setPosition({ x: 50, y: 50 })
    
    1. Position in pixel coordinate system.
     addLegendBox( LegendBoxBuilders.VerticalLegendBox, chart.pixelScale )
         // Position = pixels.
         .setPosition({ x: 300, y: 100 })
    
    1. Position on Axes.
     addLegendBox( LegendBoxBuilders.VerticalLegendBox, { x: chartXY.getDefaultAxisX(), y: chartXY.getDefaultAxisY() } )
         // Position = Axis values.
         .setPosition({ x: 5, y: 5 })
    

    Parameters

    • builder: UILegendBoxBuilder

      LegendBoxBuilder. If omitted, VerticalLegendBox will be selected. Use LegendBoxBuilders for selection.

    • scale: UserScaleDefinition

      Optional parameter for altering the coordinate system used for positioning the LegendBox. Defaults to whole Chart in percentages [0, 100].

    Returns LegendBox & UIElement

    Object with two interfaces: LegendBox and UIElement.

addUIElement

  • Add a stand-alone UIElement using a builder.

    Example usage:

    1. TextBox with default positioning coordinate system.
     addUIElement( UIElementBuilders.TextBox )
         // Position = [0, 100] as percentages.
         .setPosition({ x: 50, y: 50 })
    
    1. Position in pixel coordinate system.
     addUIElement( UIElementBuilders.TextBox, chart.pixelScale )
         // Position = pixels.
         .setPosition({ x: 300, y: 100 })
    
    1. Position on Axes.
     addUIElement( UIElementBuilders.TextBox, { x: chartXY.getDefaultAxisX(), y: chartXY.getDefaultAxisY() } )
         // Position = Axis values.
         .setPosition({ x: 5, y: 5 })

dispose

  • dispose(): this
  • Permanently dispose 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.

    Has two optional parameters which directly reference JavaScript API HTMLCanvasElement.toDataURL. For supported image formats, compression quality, Etc. refer to:

    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLCanvasElement/toDataURL

    Panel.saveToFile('screenshot')
    // Attempt download 'maybeNotSupported.bmp'
    Panel.saveToFile('maybeNotSupported', 'image/bmp')
    // Attempt download jpeg.file with specified compression quality

    sideeffect

    If 'type' is not supported by browser, an Error will be thrown.

    Parameters

    • fileName: string

      Name of prompted download file as string. File extension shouldn't be included as it is automatically detected from 'type'-argument.

    • type: undefined | string

      A DOMString indicating the image format. The default format type is image/png.

    • encoderOptions: undefined | number

      A Number between 0 and 1 indicating the image quality to use for image formats that use lossy compression such as image/jpeg and image/webp. If this argument is anything else, the default value for image quality is used. The default value is 0.92.
