class anychart.scales.ScatterBase Improve this Doc

Extends: anychart.scales.Base

The ScatterBase class contains methods for configuring all scatter scales (Linear, Logarithmic and DateTime).
Doesn't declare any ticks, so different scales can declare their own.

Methods Overview

Specific settings
alignMaximum()Align maximum settings.
alignMinimum()Align minimum settings.
extendDataRange()Extends the current input domain with the passed values (if such don't exist in the domain).
finishAutoCalc()Informs the scale that an auto-range calculation started for the chart in past was ended.
inverseTransform()Returns tick by its position ratio.
inverted()Inversion state.
maxTicksCount()Maximum ticks count.
maximum()Scale maximum.
minimum()Scale minimum.
startAutoCalc()Informs scale that an auto-range calculation started for the chart, so it should reset its data range on the first
transform()Returns tick position ratio by its name.

Methods Description

alignMaximum

Getter for a flag if the maximum should be aligned by major ticks interval.

Returns:

boolean - Whether to enable maximum alignment by interval.
See listing
var scale = chart.yScale();
var alignMaximum = scale.alignMaximum();
Getter for a flag if the maximum should be aligned by major ticks interval.

Params:

NameTypeDescription
enabledbooleanWhether to enable maximum alignment by interval.

Returns:

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

alignMinimum

Setter for a flag if the minimum should be aligned by major ticks interval.

Returns:

boolean - Whether to enable minimum alignment by interval.
See listing
var scale = chart.yScale();
var alignMinimum = scale.alignMinimum();
Setter for a flag if the minimum should be aligned by major ticks interval.

Params:

NameTypeDescription
enabledbooleanWhether to enable minimum alignment by interval.

Returns:

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

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.ScatterBase - 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.

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.

inverted

Getter for the scale inversion.

Returns:

boolean - The 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
enabledboolean
false
Inverted state to set.

Returns:

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

maxTicksCount

Getter for the maximum ticks count.

Returns:

number - Maximum ticks count.
See listing
var maxTicksCount = scale.maxTicksCount();
Setter for the maximum ticks count.

Params:

NameTypeDefaultDescription
countnumber
1000
Maximum ticks count to set.

Returns:

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

maximum

Getter for the scale maximum.

Returns:

number - Scale maximum.
See listing
var scale = chart.yScale();
var maximum = scale.maximum();
Setter for the scale maximum.

Params:

NameTypeDefaultDescription
maximumnumber
null
Maximum value to set.

Returns:

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

minimum

Getter for the scale minimum.

Returns:

number - Scale minimum.
See listing
var scale = chart.yScale();
var minimum = scale.minimum();
Setter for the scale minimum.

Params:

NameTypeDefaultDescription
minimumnumber
null
Scale minimum to set.

Returns:

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

startAutoCalc

Informs scale that an auto-range calculation started for the chart, so it should reset its data range on the first call of this method if needed.

Returns:

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

transform

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

Params:

NameTypeDescription
value*Value to transform in input scope.

Returns:

number - Value transformed to scope [0, 1].
