Chart

Draws a chart. Its appearance and data are set with UI Attributes. More than one set of values can be specified.

Parameters

• id: the object's ID, used by UISets. Required
• position: the object's position. Use the pixels or rows and columns coordinates format
• size: the chart's area's width and height
• attributes: list of UI attribute ids and values defining the chart's aspect and data. Setting this parameter is the same as setting each UI attribute with a UISet

Chart types

The type attributes defines the way the values are displayed.

Type	Result	Description
bars		Draw bars
gauge		Draw a gauge, for charts with a single value. Use with the "value" attribute
points		Draws points
line		Draws a line connecting the values
spline		Draws a spline connecting the values

Syntax

(chart!<id> <address>; <position>; <width>; <height>; <attributes>)

E.g.

(chart!chart1 x3y187; 312; 180; (type=line; values=0,10,24,12,7,35,42,1,23,4))

UI Attributes

Common attributes

Name	Value	Description
pos	x<x>y<y>	Position specified as x/y coordinates. E.g. x-5y10
	r<r>c<c>	Position specified as row/column. E.g. r1c2
visible	true	Default. Show the object
	false	Hide the object
blink	true | slow	Blink the object at a slow speed
	fast	Blink the object at a fast speed
	false	Stop the blinking
opacity	0.0 ... 1.0	Object opacity from 0 (not visible) to 1 (fully visible)
rotation	0 ... 360	Object rotation in degrees. Images are rotated around the center point, all other objects are rotated around the top left corner

type	bars	Draw bars
	gauge	Draw a gauge, for charts with a single value. Use with the "value" attribute
	points	Draws points
	line	Draws a line connecting the values
	spline	Draws a spline connecting the values
orientation	vertical	Default value. Draws a vertical chart
	horizontal	Draws an horizontal chart
value	single value	Value to be drawn. To be used when "type" is gauge
value[n]		Same as "value", but applies to a specific set of values
values	comma-separated list of values	Values to be drawn. E.g. 2,3,1.2,4
	comma-separated list of arrays	Sets of values to be drawn. E.g. [2,3,1.2,4],[4,1,0,0.2]
values[n]		Same as "values", but applies to a specific set of values
valuerange	[min],[max]	Range of values displayed. E.g. -2,10
axislabels	auto	Default. Labels on the x axis (if vertical) or y axis (if horizontal) will go from 1 to the total number of values.
	none	No label is shown on the x axis (if vertical) or y axis (if horizontal)
	comma-separated list of values	Custom labels on the x axis (if vertical) or y axis (if horizontal)
valuelabeltype	inside	Value labels are shown inside (if "type" is bars, points or gauge) or over (if "type" is line or spline)
	outside	Value labels are shown above or below
	popup	Value labels are shown on mouseover, or on touch (if on a touch-enabled device)
valuelabelcolor	CSS color	Color of the value labels font
valuelabels	comma-separated list of values	Custom values to show in value labels
valuelabels[n]		Same as "valuelabels", but applies to a specific set of values
spacing	0-100	Percentage of spacing between bars or points
spacing[n]		Same as "spacing", but applies to a specific set of values
offset[n]	percentage	Percentage of value offset. Used to shift a specific set on the x axis if vertical, or on the y axis if horizontal. Used to show background sets. E.g. "offset[0]=-20; offset[1]=20"
drawaxis	true	Default. The axes are visible (also notches and labels)
	false	The axes are not visible (also notches and labels)
axisoffset	percentage	The axis offset (y if vertical, x if horizontal) expressed as percentage or as the value series index. E.g. "50%" or "3"
origin	value	Moves the origin to a value different from 0 ( e.g. origin=3.2 )
notches	value	Number of notches on the x-axis (for vertical charts) or on the y-axis (for horizontal charts)
pointsize	number of pixels	Point size (use for the points chart type)
bgcolor	CSS color	Background color
valuecolor	CSS color	A color that applies to all values
valuecolor[n]		Same as "valuecolor", but applies to a specific set of values
valuecolors	comma-separated list of CSS colors	List of colors, one for each data point in values
valuecolors[n]		Same as "valuecolors", but applies to a specific set of values
barborder	true	Show bars/points border
	false	hide bars/points border
axiscolor	CSS color	Axis color
notchcolor	CSS color	Color of the axis notches
labelcolor	CSS color	Color of the axis and bars labels
thresholds	Comma-separated list of values	List of values at which to display a line (threshold)
thresholdcolor	CSS color	Color of threshold lines
thresholdcolors	comma-separated list of CSS colors	List of colors of threshold lines, one value each line
stroke	number of pixel	Pixel size of the stroke that applies to line and spline chart's types

A CSS color can be specified as

• hex value: #<rr><gg><bb> E.g. #FF1010
• color name: red, blue, white...
• as rgb: rgb(<r>,<g>,<b>) E.g. rgb(255,30,30)
