Abstract
Readonly
engineInterface for end user API of the LCJS engine. It provides some useful capabilities over the area enclosed by a single LCJS context (which can be just a single chart, or a Dashboard with several charts).
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 })
LegendBox
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].
This method is used for the adding slices in the funnel chart.
Funnel slice title
funnel slice value
This method is used for the adding multiple slices in the funnel chart.
Array of slices
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 })
Object that fulfills interfaces: UIElementType (typeparam) and UIElement
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].
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.
let chart = ...ChartXY()
let axisX = chart.getDefaultAxisX()
// Dispose Chart, and remove all references so that they can be garbage-collected.
chart.dispose()
chart = undefined
axisX = undefined

Get FunnelSliceMode. Can be used to select between different drawing approaches for Slices.
See FunnelSliceModes for a collection of options.
FunnelSliceMode
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 font of Slice Labels.
FontSettings
Get formatter of Slice Labels.
SliceLabelFormatter - function which generates text of Labels per Slice.
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 style of Funnel Slices fill. This style is managed as a continuous Palette of FillStyle objects. Each Slice of Funnel will be assigned an incremental index, which will be used to pick its fill style from this Palette.
So, for example... We have a Funnel Chart with 5 Slices, and we give it a Palette with only 3 possible values (0 = red, 1 = green, 2 = blue). The resulting Slice fill styles will be: red, green, blue, red, green. Note that this means, that the supplied Palette will have to work in a continuous manner!
Palette
Get sorter of Funnels' Slices as a comparator-function.
SliceSorter - function which sorts Slices of Funnel with JavaScript API: Array.sort.
Get all Slices of Funnel Chart. NOTE: Manual modifications to returned Array can have unforeseen side-effects. Removing or adding Slices is intended to be done using other APIs (FunnelChart.addSlice, Slice.dispose, ...)
Array of Slices

Capture rendered state in an image file. Prompts the browser to download the created file.
NOTE: The download might be blocked by browser/plugins as harmful. To prevent this, only call the method in events tied to user-interactions. From mouse-event handlers, for example.
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
Example usage:

// Attempt download 'maybeNotSupported.bmp'
Panel.saveToFile('maybeNotSupported', 'image/bmp')
// Attempt download jpeg.file with specified compression quality
Panel.saveToFile('fileName', 'image/jpeg', 0.50)
If 'type' is not supported by browser, an Error will be thrown.
