class anychart.scales.ScatterTicks Improve this Doc

Extends: anychart.core.Base

The ScatterTicks class contains methods for configuring ticks on the Scatter scale.

Methods Overview

Specific settings
allowFractional()Allow showing fractional values in ticks
base()Ticks base value.
count()Ticks count.
get()Returns an array of ticks. Each tick is a value in terms of data, to make a tick on.
interval()Ticks interval.
mode()Ticks mode.
set()Setups ticks as an explicit array of fixed ticks.

Methods Description

allowFractional

Getter for the allowFractional flag.

Returns:

boolean - Allow fractional values or not.
Setter for the allowFractional flag.
Whether to the allow fractional values in ticks.
Note: When anychart.scales.ScatterTicks#mode set to 'logarithmic', the allowFractional flag is always false.

Params:

NameTypeDefaultDescription
enabledboolean
true
Whether to allow fractional values in ticks.

Returns:

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

base

Getter for ticks base value.

Returns:

number - Returns base value.
See listing
var ticks = scale.ticks();
var base = ticks.base();
Setter for ticks base value. Note: it is a number that is guaranteed to set a tick if the number is located between minimum and maximum values of the scale.

Params:

NameTypeDescription
baseValuenumberBase value for ticks.

Returns:

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

count

Getter for ticks count.

Returns:

number - Returns count value.
See listing
var ticks = scale.ticks();
var count = ticks.count();
Setter for ticks count value. Note: Final number of ticks can be greater (one more tick can be added).

Params:

NameTypeDescription
countnumberTicks count value.
Note: If value is defined, but not a number or less than 2, it defaults to 5.

Returns:

anychart.scales.ScatterTicks - Self instance for method chaining.
Setter for ticks count value using two parameters. Note: Final number of ticks can be greater than maximum (one more tick can be added).

Params:

NameTypeDefaultDescription
minimumCountnumber
4
Minimum count to set.
maximumCountnumber
6
Maximum count to set.

Returns:

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

get

Returns an array of ticks. Each tick is a value in terms of data, to make a tick on. Note: returns correct values only after anychart.scales.Base#finishAutoCalc or after chart.draw()

Returns:

Array - Array of ticks.

interval

Getter for ticks interval value. Note: You can get interval value only if it was set explicitly, otherwise its returns NaN.

Returns:

number - Current interval value.
Setter for ticks interval value.

Params:

NameTypeDescription
valuenumberTicks interval value.
Note: If value is defined but is not a number or less than 0, it defaults to NaN and count() resets to 5.

Returns:

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

mode

Getter for the ticks mode.

Returns:

anychart.enums.ScatterTicksMode | string - Returns ticks mode.
See listing
var ticks = scale.ticks();
var mode = ticks.mode();
Setter for the ticks mode. Note: Use only with logarithmic scales.

Params:

NameTypeDescription
modeanychart.enums.ScatterTicksMode | stringMode to set.

Returns:

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

set

Setups ticks as an explicit array of fixed ticks.

Params:

NameTypeDescription
ticksArrayExplicit ticks array.

Returns:

anychart.scales.ScatterTicks - Returns itself for method chaining.
