Methods Description

calendar

Getter for the scale calendar.

Returns:

anychart.scales.Calendar - Calendar instance.

count

Getter for the unit count.

Returns:

number - Unit count.
See listing
var count = scale.count();
Setter for the unit count.

Params:

NameTypeDefaultDescription
countnumber
1
Unit count to set.

Returns:

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

dateToPix

Transforms date to pixels.

Params:

NameTypeDescription
datenumber | DateValue to transform.

Returns:

number - Pixel value.

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.DateTimeWithCalendar - 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.

getTicks

Returns ticks array (even indexes are left borders, odd indexes are right borders of the tick) with a passed interval. Ticks fill space from the fromPix pixel to the toPix pixel (if available).

Params:

NameTypeDescription

toPixnumber"To" pixel.
unitanychart.enums.Interval | stringUnit interval.
countnumberUnit count.

Returns:

Array.<anychart.scales.DateTimeWithCalendar.Tick> - Returns ticks array.

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.

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
