Methods Description

extendDataRange

Extends the current input domain with the passed values (if such don't exist in the domain).
Note: Attention! anychart.scales.Base#finishAutoCalc drops all passed values.

Params:

NameTypeDescription
var_args*Values that are supposed to extend the input domain.

Returns:

anychart.scales.Logarithmic - Self instance for method chaining.

finishAutoCalc

Informs the scale that an auto range calculation started for the chart in past was ended.

Params:

NameTypeDescription
silentlybooleanIf this flag is set, do not dispatch an event if reapplication needed.

Returns:

boolean - If the calculation changed the scale and it needs to be reapplied.

getType

Returns scale type.

Returns:

string - Scale type.

inverseTransform

Returns tick by its position ratio. Note: returns correct values only after anychart.scales.Base#finishAutoCalc or chart.draw().

Params:

NameTypeDescription
rationumberValue to transform in input scope.

Returns:

* - Value transformed to output scope [0, 1].

inverted

Getter for scale inversion.

Returns:

boolean - Current inversion state.
Setter for scale inversion. If the scale is inverted, axes and series go upside-down or right-to-left instead of bottom-to-top and left-to-right.

Params:

NameTypeDefaultDescription
valueboolean
false
Value to set.

Returns:

anychart.scales.Logarithmic - Self instance for method chaining.

listen

Adds an event listener to an implementing object.

Params:

NameTypeDefaultDescription
typestring
The event type id.
listenerfunction
Callback method. Function that looks like function(event){ // event.actualTarget - actual event target // event.currentTarget - current event target // event.iterator - event iterator // event.originalEvent - original event // event.point - event point // event.pointIndex - event point index }.
useCaptureboolean
false
Whether to fire in capture phase. Learn more about capturing https://javascript.info/bubbling-and-capturing
listenerScopeObject
Object in whose scope to call the listener.

Returns:

Object - Unique key for the listener.

listenOnce

Adds an event listener to an implementing object.

Params:

NameTypeDefaultDescription
typestring
The event type id.
listenerfunction
Callback method.
useCaptureboolean
false
Whether to fire in capture phase. Learn more about capturing https://javascript.info/bubbling-and-capturing
listenerScopeObject
Object in whose scope to call the listener.

Returns:

Object - Unique key for the listener.

logBase

Getter for Log base value.

Returns:

number - Current Log base.
Setter for Log base value.
Note: Affects tick values auto calculation.

Params:

NameTypeDefaultDescription
