41 inherited items

adapter

Type Adapter <this, IDataItemAdapters>Inherited from DataItem

Holds Adapter.

animations

Type Array <Animation>Inherited from DataItem

A list of Animations objects currently mutating Data Item's values.

axisBreak

Type AxisBreakInherited from AxisDataItem

An AxisBreak this data item falls within.

axisFill

Type AxisFillInherited from AxisDataItem

An AxisFill associated element with this data item.

If there is no fill element associated with data item, a new one is created and returned.

bullet

Type SpriteInherited from AxisDataItemSince 4.5.9

Set it to an instance of any Sprite. It will be displayed as an axis bullet in the middle of the cell, or specific value.

If you need position bullet relatively to the cell, use AxisBullet instead. It has a location property which can be used to indicate precise relative location within cell/range.

Also, AxisBullet is a Container so you can push any other element into it.

NOTE: location is relative to the parent axis range's scope, i.e.

between its date and endDate for DateAxis, or value/endValue (ValueAxis), or category/endCategory (categoryAxis).

let range = dateAxis.axisRanges.create();
range.date = new Date(2018, 0, 5);

let flag = new am4plugins_bullets.FlagBullet();
flag.label.text = "Hello";

range.bullet = flag;

var range = dateAxis.axisRanges.create();
range.date = new Date(2018, 0, 5);

var flag = new am4plugins_bullets.FlagBullet();
flag.label.text = "Hello";

range.bullet = flag;

{
  // ...
  "xAxes": [{
    "type": "DateAxis",
    // ...
    "axisRanges": [{
      "date": new Date(2018, 0, 5),
      "bullet: {
        "type": "FlagBullet",
        "label": {
          "text": "Hello"
        }
      }
    }]
  }]
}

categories

Type objectInherited from DataItem

An object containing categories.

clonedFrom

Type $type.Optional <this>Inherited from BaseObject

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 objectInherited from BaseObject

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.

contents

Type ContainerInherited from AxisDataItem

Returns a Container to place all visual elements, related to data item in.

If there is no Container, a new one is created.

dataContext

Type ObjectInherited from DataItem

Sets to a reference to an original object from Component's data.

A reference to an original object in Component's data, that this Data Item is derived from.

dates

Type objectInherited from DataItem

hasProperties

Type booleanDefault falseInherited from DataItem

Indicates whether Data Item has any properties set.

If it does not have any, the code can use this property to check whether they need to apply costly operation of re-applying properties, whenever Data Item-related element is redrawn, e.g. series.

hidden

Sets hidden flag for data item. Mostly used to initially hide data item.

Returns true if this Data Item is currently hidden.

id

Type $type.Optional <string>Inherited from BaseObject

Sets the user-defined id of the element.

ignoreMinMax

Type booleanInherited from DataItem

Sets whether this data point should not be included in the scale and minimum/maximum calculations.

Exclude from min/max calculations?

E.g. some we may want to exclude a particular data point from influencing ValueAxis scale.

index

Type numberInherited from DataItem

Data Item's position index in Component's data.

isHiding

Type booleanDefault falseInherited from DataItem

Indicates whether Data Item is currently animiting from visible to hidden state.

isTemplate

Type booleanDefault falseInherited from DataItem

Identifies if this object is a "template" and should not be treated as real object that is drawn or actually used in the chart.

itemIndex

Type numberInherited from AxisDataItemSince 4.7.8

Actual index of the axis data item.

label

Type AxisLabelInherited from AxisDataItem

An AxisLabel element associated with this data item.

If there is no label element associated with data item, a new one is created and returned.

locations

Type objectInherited from DataItem

An object containing locations for the Data Item.

A location is a position within date or category, or, in some other cases, where there is no single point but rather some period.

More info: Series: data item locations for info how data item locations work

mask

Type AxisFillInherited from AxisDataItem

Data item's mask.

maxPosition

Type numberInherited from AxisDataItemSince 4.5.11

Allows hiding axis item (tick, label, grid) if it is closer to axis end than this relative position (0-1).

For axis labels it overrides maxLabelPosition if set.

// Hide all ticks and labels closer than 20% to axis end.
axis.dataItems.template.maxPosition = 0.8;

// Hide all ticks and labels closer than 20% to axis end.
axis.dataItems.template.maxPosition = 0.8;

{
  // ...
  "xAxes": [{
    // ...
    // Hide all ticks and labels closer than 20% to axis end.
    "dataItems": {
      "maxPosition": 0.8
    }
  }]
}

minPosition

Type numberInherited from AxisDataItemSince 4.5.11

Allows hiding axis item (tick, label, grid) if it is closer to axis beginning than this relative position (0-1).

For axis labels it overrides minLabelPosition if set.

// Hide all ticks and labels closer than 20% to axis beginning.
axis.dataItems.template.minPosition = 0.2;

// Hide all ticks and labels closer than 20% to axis beginning.
axis.dataItems.template.minPosition = 0.2;

{
  // ...
  "xAxes": [{
    // ...
    // Hide all ticks and labels closer than 20% to axis beginning.
    "dataItems": {
      "minPosition": 0.2
    }
  }]
}

opacity

Type numberInherited from DataItem

Sets opacity for all Data Item's related elements (Sprites).

parent

Type $type.Optional <this>Inherited from DataItem

When we are using a nested data structure, like for example in a TreeMap, this property points to a parent Data Item of this one.

point

Type IPointInherited from AxisDataItem

Holds a physical position of the grid line associated with this data item, so that it can be used when measuring distance between points, and hiding some of them so they don't overlap.

position

Type numberInherited from AxisDataItem

relative position of data item on axis

properties

Type objectInherited from DataItem

An object containing Data Item specific appearance properties in key-value pairs.

Sometimes a single Data Item needs to apply different properties than the rest of the data Series it is part of. E.g. a single column, represented by a Data Item needs to be filled with a different color than the reset of the ColumnSeries it belongs to.

That's where Data Item's properties come into play.

Please note that you should set Data Item-specific properties using setProperty() method, rather than access properties object directly.

sprites

Type Sprite[]Default []Inherited from DataItem

A list of Sprite elements that are associated with this Data Item.

E.g. an Axis Data Item has several separate elements associated with it, like AxisTick, AxisLabel, and Grid.

Data Item keeps track of all of them, so it can toggle all related visual elements when it itself is toggled.

text

Type stringInherited from AxisDataItem

Text to be used as data item's label.
