Properties

clonedFrom

Type $type.Optional <this>

Reference to the original object this object was cloned from. We need to keep this so we can disassociate it from source object when this object is disposed.

config

Type object

Use this property to set JSON-based config. When set, triggers processing routine, which will go through all properties, and try to apply values, create instances, etc.

Use this with caution, as it is a time-consuming process. It's used for initialchart setup only, not routine operations.

Sets the user-defined id of the element.

uid

Type string

Returns object's internal unique ID.
