ILineSettings

Type interface

Sources

ILineSettings is an interface: it describes a shape of data and is not imported on its own.

Inheritance

ILineSettings extends IGraphicsSettings.

ILineSettings is extended by ITickSettings.

Properties

points

Type Array

Points the line goes through, in pixels from the line's position.

segments

Type ArraySince 5.1.4

Separate pieces of the line, used when points is not set. Each piece is a list of point arrays drawn as one continuous stroke.

105 inherited items
active

Type undefined | false | trueInherited from ISpriteSettings

Applies the element's "active" state while true.

animations

Type ArrayInherited from IEntitySettingsSince 5.20.8

Animations the element plays on its own, described as data - so they can be set from a JSON config and saved with it.

Each one animates a setting of the element (or, with target: "dataItem", a value of its data item - a map point's positionOnLine, say). They start when the setting is applied, restart when it changes, and stop when the element is disposed. A saved config keeps what was configured, never a value caught half way through an animation.

sprite.set("animations", [
  { key: "rotation", to: 360, duration: 4000, loops: 0 },
  { key: "scale", from: 1, to: 1.3, duration: 800, loops: 0, yoyo: true, easing: "sine" }
]);
appearDelay

Type undefined | numberDefault 0Inherited from ISpriteSettingsSince 5.21.0

Milliseconds to wait before the autoAppear animation starts. The element stays hidden until then.

appearDuration

Type undefined | numberInherited from ISpriteSettingsSince 5.21.0

Duration of the autoAppear animation, in milliseconds. Without it, the element's stateAnimationDuration is used.

ariaChecked

Type undefined | false | trueInherited from ISpriteSettings

aria-checked setting.

This setting is ignored unless role is one of the following:

  • "checkbox"

  • "option"

  • "radio"

  • "menuitemcheckbox"

  • "menuitemradio"

  • "treeitem" On a toggle "button" (one with toggleKey) it is exposed as aria-pressed.

ariaControls

Type undefined | stringInherited from ISpriteSettings

aria-controls setting.

ariaCurrent

Type undefined | stringInherited from ISpriteSettingsSince 5.9.8

aria-current setting.

More info: https://w3c.github.io/aria/#aria-current

ariaExpanded

Type undefined | false | trueInherited from ISpriteSettingsSince 5.21.0

aria-expanded setting: whether the content the element shows or hides (e.g. a task's subtasks, a node's children) is shown.

More info: https://w3c.github.io/aria/#aria-expanded

ariaHidden

Type undefined | false | trueInherited from ISpriteSettings

aria-hidden setting.

ariaLabel

Type undefined | stringInherited from ISpriteSettings

Label for the element to use for screen readers.

More info: Accessibility: screen reader

ariaLive

Type AriaLiveInherited from ISpriteSettings

aria-live setting.

ariaOrientation

Type undefined | stringInherited from ISpriteSettings

aria-orientation setting.

ariaSelected

Type undefined | false | trueInherited from ISpriteSettingsSince 5.9.8

aria-selected setting.

More info: https://w3c.github.io/aria/#aria-selected

ariaValueMax

Type undefined | stringInherited from ISpriteSettings

aria-valuemax setting.

ariaValueMin

Type undefined | stringInherited from ISpriteSettings

aria-valuemin setting.

ariaValueNow

Type undefined | stringInherited from ISpriteSettings

aria-valuenow setting.

ariaValueText

Type undefined | stringInherited from ISpriteSettings

aria-valuetext setting.

autoAppear

Type undefined | false | trueDefault falseInherited from ISpriteSettingsSince 5.21.0

Plays the element's reveal animation, as appear() does, when it is first drawn: a chart fades in, a series grows its columns or lines from the base. A series waits for its first data. It plays once: data updates do not replay it, but turning the setting off and on again does.

Elements made from a template play as each one is made.

An element that starts hidden (visible: false, or hidden in code before it is drawn) stays hidden. An animations entry on the same setting, such as a pulsing opacity, keeps playing.

This is how a JSON config gets the opening animation, as a config cannot call appear().

chart.setAll({ autoAppear: true, appearDuration: 1000, appearDelay: 100 });
series.setAll({ autoAppear: true, appearDuration: 1000 });
chart.setAll({ autoAppear: true, appearDuration: 1000, appearDelay: 100 });
series.setAll({ autoAppear: true, appearDuration: 1000 });
