FixedWidthBarChart Class

Extends BasicBarChart
Defined in: dynamic_chart.js:3799
Module: DynamicChart

Advanced Chart: FixedWidthBarChart
Inherits from BasicBarChart redefining the drawing methods.
As for its super class values are represented using vertical bars, and each point can have up to 10 subcomponents, where each component can be any non-negative real number (i.e., each point can be in R_+^i, for 1 <= i <= 10).

For this chart the bar width is fixed (although can be set at run time) It is possible to choose between having only a fixed number of values accepted, or if a certain number of the oldest values should be removed when the chart is full.

Inherited from BasicBarChart: dynamic_chart.js:2946

Parameters:

  • str String

    [Mandatory] A string representing a CSS property with 4 possible subfields, as for margins or border-width: top, right, bottom and left.

                                                Unless undefinedOnMiss is passed and it's truthy, the format of the string 
                                            is the same as for CSS margin; it can therefore be one of the following:
                                            <ul>
                                                <li>""<br>No margin is set</li>

  • defaultValue Boolean

    [Optional] If it is not passed or it's false, the standard CSS format specification for multivalue string attributes will be used, as described above. Otherwise, if less than 4 values are provided in the string, they are assigned to subfields in the order top, right, bottom, left, while for the fields for whom a value isn't explicitely inserted, a defaultValue is used.
