Description

Obtains the colors associated with a data point in a graph.

Controls

Graph controls in windows and user objects, and graphs in
DataWindow controls

Syntax

1	<span>controlname</span>.<span>GetDataStyle </span>( { <span>graphcontrol</span>, } <span>seriesnumber</span>,<br> <span>datapointnumber</span>, <span>colortype</span>, <span>colorvariable</span> )

Argument	Description
controlname	The name of the graph for which you want the color of a data point, or the name of the DataWindow control containing the graph.
graphcontrol (Data Window control only)	(Optional) When controlname is a DataWindow control, the name of the graph for which you want the color of a data point.
seriesnumber	The number of the series in which you want the color of a data point.
datapointnumber	The number of the data point for which you want the color.
colortype	A value of the grColorType enumerated datatype specifying the aspect of the data point for which you want the color. Values are: Background! – The background color Foreground! – Text (fill color) LineColor! – The color of the line Shade! – The shaded area of three-dimensional graphics
colorvariable	A long variable in which you want to store the color.

Return Values

Integer. Returns 1 if it succeeds and
-1 if an error occurs. Stores a color value in colorvariable.
If any argument’s value is null, GetDataStyle returns null.

Examples

This example gets the text (foreground) color used
for data point 6 in the series named Salary in the graph gr_emp_data.
It stores the color value in the variable color_nbr:

long color_nbr

1	long color_nbr

integer SeriesNbr

1	integer SeriesNbr

// Get the number of the series

1	// Get the number of the series

SeriesNbr = gr_emp_data.FindSeries("Salary")

1	SeriesNbr = gr_emp_data.FindSeries("Salary")

// Get the color

1	// Get the color

gr_emp_data.<span>GetDataStyle</span>(SeriesNbr, 6, &amp;

1	gr_emp_data.<span>GetDataStyle</span>(SeriesNbr, 6, &

    Foreground!, color_nbr)

1	Foreground!, color_nbr)

This example gets the background color used for data
point 6 in the series entered in the SingleLineEdit sle_series in
the DataWindow graph gr_emp_data.
It stores the color value in the variable color_nbr:

long color_nbr

1	long color_nbr

integer SeriesNbr

1	integer SeriesNbr

// Get the number of the series

1	// Get the number of the series

SeriesNbr = FindSeries("gr_emp_data", sle_series.Text)

1	SeriesNbr = FindSeries("gr_emp_data", sle_series.Text)

// Get the color

1	// Get the color

dw_emp_data.<span>GetDataStyle</span>("gr_emp_data", &amp;

1	dw_emp_data.<span>GetDataStyle</span>("gr_emp_data", &

    SeriesNbr, 6, Background!, color_nbr)

1	SeriesNbr, 6, Background!, color_nbr)
