Class: ValueAxisOptions

ValueAxisOptions()

new ValueAxisOptions()

The ValueAxisOptions object defines the configuration options for chart's value axes (oY). The chart can show zero or multiple value axes. One or more series can be assigned to a value axis, using the axis option of the Serie object. Use the valueAxis option to define the value axes

For instance, the "max" option:

valueAxis: { max: 100 }
re-defines the maximum value of the axis

Members

(static) align :exontrol.AlignEnum

The align field aligns the value-axis to left/top or right/bottom side of the view. If the chart is horizontally oriented (values go vertically, categories go horizontally) the value-axis can be aligned to bottom or top side of the view. If the chart is vertically oriented (values go horizontally, categories go vertically) the value-axis can be aligned to left or right side of the view
Type:
  • exontrol.AlignEnum

(static) angle :string|object

The angle field specifies an object of {title,labels} type that specifies the rotation angle (in degrees) for the title and labels of the axis. By default, if angle is omitted all angles are set on null(auto)
Type:
  • string | object

(static) asPercent :boolean

The asPercent field indicates whether the value-axis converts the serie's values to [0,1] range, as percentages (the values area always numbers between 0 and 1). The format field specifies an expression to customize the labels to show on value axis.
Type:
  • boolean
Example
null {null} or false {boolean}, the serie's values show as normal (by default)
 true {boolean}, the serie's values show as percentages (the values area always numbers between 0 and 1)

Type:
  • string

(static) end :number

The end field defines where the value-axis ends relative to the full axis. The axis field specifies the name of the value-axis to use. For instance, you can use the start/end fields to customize the vertical or horizontal position on the chart to visualize a specified serie.
Type:
  • number

(static) format :string

The format field specifies an expression to customize the labels to show on value axis. The format-expression supports predefined constants, operators and keywords as explained:

(static) tfi :string|object

The tfi field specifies the font attributes to apply on the title and labels of the value-axis. The tfi field can be defined using a string representation such as "b monospace 16" or as an object such as {bold: true, fontName: "monospace", fontSize: 16}.

The tfi field as string supports any of the following keywords (each keyword can be specified using first letters only such as "b" for "bold) separated by space characters:

  • bold, displays the text in bold (equivalent of <b> tag)
  • italic, displays the text in italics (equivalent of <i> tag)

    • color {string}, defines the gradient-color (CSScolor)
    • mode {number}, defines the gradient mode as a value between 0 and 4
    • blend {number}, defines the gradient blend as a value between 0 and 1

CSSColor or CSS legal color values can be specified by the following methods:

  • Hexadecimal colors, is specified with: #RRGGBB, where the RR (red), GG (green) and BB (blue) hexadecimal integers specify the components of the color. All values must be between 00 and FF. For example, #0000ff value is rendered as blue, because the blue component is set to its highest value (ff) and the others are set to 00.
  • Hexadecimal colors with transparency, is specified with: #RRGGBBAA, where AA (alpha) value must be between 00 and FF. For example, #0000ff80 defines a semi-transparent blue.
  • RGB colors, is specified with the RGB(red, green, blue) function. Each parameter (red, green, and blue) defines the intensity of the color and can be an integer between 0 and 255. For example, rgb(0,0,255) defines the blue color.
  • RGBA colors, are an extension of RGB color values with an alpha channel as RGBA(red, green, blue, alpha) function, where the alpha parameter is a number between 0.0 (fully transparent) and 1.0 (fully opaque). For example, rgba(0,0,255,0.5) defines a semi-transparent blue.
  • HSL colors, is specified with the HSL(hue, saturation, lightness) function, where hue is a degree on the color wheel (from 0 to 360) - 0 (or 360) is red, 120 is green, 240 is blue. saturation is a percentage value; 0% means a shade of gray and 100% is the full color. lightness is also a percentage; 0% is black, 100% is white. HSL stands for hue, saturation, and lightness - and represents a cylindrical-coordinate representation of colors. For example, hsl(240, 100%, 50%) defines the blue color.
  • HSLA colors, are an extension of HSL color values with an alpha channel - which specifies the opacity of the object as HSLA(hue, saturation, lightness, alpha) function, where alpha parameter is a number between 0.0 (fully transparent) and 1.0 (fully opaque). For example, hsla(240, 100%, 50%,0.5) defines a semi-transparent blue.
  • Predefined/Cross-browser color names, 140 color names are predefined in the HTML and CSS color specification. For example, blue defines the blue color.
Type:
  • string | object
Example
null {null}, the tfi field is ignored
  "bold monospace 16 &lt;fg blue>" {string}, defines Monospace font of 16px height, bold and blue
  {bold: true, fontName: "monospace", fontSize: 16, fgColor: "blue"} {object}, defines Monospace font of 16px height, bold and blue
