Description |
|---|---|
|
dwcontrol |
A reference to the DataWindow control containing |
|
graphcontrol |
A string whose value is the name of the graph in |
|
seriesname |
A string whose value is the name of the series for |
|
linestyle |
A value of the LineStyle enumerated datatype (in For a list |
|
linewidth (optional for |
An integer specifying the width of the line in |
Return value
Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any
argument’s value is null, SetSeriesStyle returns null.
Usage
Data points in a series can have their own style settings.
Settings made with SetDataStyle set the style of individual data points
and override series settings.
The graph stores style information for properties that do not
apply to the current graph type. For example, you can set the fill
pattern in a two-dimensional line graph or the line style in a bar
graph, but that fill pattern or line style will not be visible.
You can specify the appearance of a series in the graph before the
application draws the graph. To do so, define a user event for
pbm_dwngraphcreate and call SetSeriesStyle in the script for that event.
The event pbm_dwngraphcreate is triggered just before a graph is created
in a DataWindow object.
Examples
PowerBuilder
This statement sets the line style and width for the series named
Costs in the graph gr_product_data in the DataWindow dw_prod:

1 2 |
dw_prod.SetSeriesStyle("gr_product_data", "Costs", & Dot!, 5) |
