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

allowFractional()Since version 8.2.1

Getter for the allowFractional flag.

Returns:

boolean - Allow fractional values or not.

allowFractional(enabled)Since version 8.2.1

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:

Name	Type	Default	Description
enabled	boolean	true	Whether to allow fractional values in ticks.

Returns:

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

Try it:

Usage sample

base

base()

Getter for ticks base value.

Returns:

number - Returns base value.

See listing

var ticks = scale.ticks();
var base = ticks.base();

base(baseValue)

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:

Name	Type	Description
baseValue	number	Base value for ticks.

Returns:

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

Try it:

Usage sample

count

count()

Getter for ticks count.

Returns:

number - Returns count value.

See listing

var ticks = scale.ticks();
var count = ticks.count();

count(count)

Setter for ticks count value. Note: Final number of ticks can be greater (one more tick can be added).

Params:

Name	Type	Description
count	number	Ticks 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.

Try it:

Usage sample

count(minimumCount, maximumCount)

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:

Name	Type	Default	Description
minimumCount	number	4	Minimum count to set.
maximumCount	number	6	Maximum count to set.

Returns:

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

Try it:

Usage sample

get

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.

Try it:

Usage sample

interval

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.

interval(value)

Setter for ticks interval value.

Params:

Name	Type	Description
value	number	Ticks 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.

Try it:

Usage sample

mode

mode()

Getter for the ticks mode.

Returns:

anychart.enums.ScatterTicksMode | string - Returns ticks mode.

See listing

var ticks = scale.ticks();
var mode = ticks.mode();

mode(mode)

Setter for the ticks mode. Note: Use only with logarithmic scales.

Params:

Name	Type	Description
mode	anychart.enums.ScatterTicksMode \| string	Mode to set.

Returns:

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

Try it:

Usage sample

set

set(ticks)

Setups ticks as an explicit array of fixed ticks.

Params:

Name	Type	Description
ticks	Array	Explicit ticks array.

Returns:

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