Introduction

The graphomate slopegraphs support Designer scripting language, so it is possible to interactively use the extension during runtime. One could, for example, set new data, manipulate the title or change the scaling. This documentation will provide a list of the currently available functions including examples of their usage. We are trying to enhance the extend of our functionality, so please don't hesitate to let us know if you are in need of a certain functionality using out contact page.

Events

These are the available event hooks, for which the user can define his own scripts using the property sheet under events.

Event Name

Description

On Element Clicked

Triggered if the user clicks some element of the component during runtime. To enable drilldowns one will have to react to the user input. Therefor the return value for the following function will be updated with this event:

getSelectedMember()

Functions

These are the available functions, they can be used withing Designer script editor.

Getter Name	Example	Return type	Example return value	Description
getSelectedMember(Dimension dimensionKey)	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getSelectedMember();	Member		After the user clicked an element/category of the slopegraph, this function will return the members for the specified dimension dimensionKey. This member provides several fields like text, internalKey and externalKey.
getData()	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getData();	String	{"(MEASURES_DIMENSION)": "0D_NWI_NSAL", "0D_NWI_RCOD": "80503"}	Returns the selection string which represents the selected data from the data source. Please refer to the Designer documentation for further information.
getShowCategoryLabels()	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getShowCategoryLabels();	boolean	false	Returns a flag to describe whether or not the category labels are visible.
getFontSize()	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getFontSize();	float	14	Returns the font size.
getTextColor()	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getTextColor();	String	#ff0000	Returns the font color.
getFocusTextColor()	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getFocusTextColor();	String	#BADA55	Returns the focus font color, which is used during runtime when the mouse is hovering over a slope.
getFontFamily()	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getFontFamily();	String	Comic Sans	Returns the font family.
getOnlyLeadingDescription()	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getOnlyLeadingDescription();	boolean	true	Returns whether or not only leading labels are shown for the slopes.

getSlopeColor()	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getSlopeColor();	String	#777	Returns the slope color.
getFocusSlopeColor()	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getFocusSlopeColor();	String	#1CE1CE	Returns the slope focus color which is used during runtime when the mouse is hovering over a slope.
getPositiveSlopeColor()	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getPositiveSlopeColor();	String	#facade	Returns the color for the ascending slopes (which are only visible if Show Trend in Slopes is active).
getNegativeSlopeColor()	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getNegativeSlopeColor();	String	#911	Returns the color for descending slopes (which is only visible if Show Trend in Slopes is active).
getNegativeIsGood()	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getNegativeIsGood();	boolean	false	Returns whether or not ascending slopes are interpreted as negative and are colored correspondingly (and vice versa).
getShowTrendInSlopes()	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getShowTrendInSlopes();	boolean	true	Returns whether or not trends should be shown (using the specified trend colors, see above).
getSlopeThickness()	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getSlopeThickness();	float	1.5	Returns the thickness of the slope lines.
getUseRanks()	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getUseRanks();	boolean	false	Returns whether or not slope are scaled using their rank instead of their value.
getRankDotRadius()	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getRankDotRadius();	float	3	Returns the radius used for the Rank Dot Radius (only relevant if Use Ranks is active).
getAscendingOrder()	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.getAscendingOrder();	boolean	true	Returns whether or not the slopes are shown in ascending order.

Setter Name	Example	Description
setData(String val)	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.setData({"(MEASURES_DIMENSION)": "0D_NWI_NSAL", "0D_NWI_RCOD": "80503"});	Sets the selection string, which specifies the data visualized by the slopegraphs. Please refer to the Designer documentation for more information.
setShowCategoryLabels(boolean val)	GRAPHOMATESLOPEGRAPH_1.setShowCategoryLabels(true);	Sets whether or not category labels should be visible.
