Introduction

The graphomate tiles extension supports the scripting language of Designer. Therefore, it is possible to determine properties of the extension at run-time. New data can be set or titles can be adapted. Furthermore, it is possible to use drilldown functionalities of the extension and thus create interactive dashboards.
This document provides a list of available functions, events and examples. We are steadily working on expanding the range of functions. If you miss certain functions, please give us a note. Therefore you can use our online form under http://www.graphomate.com/en/feedback.

Events

The following events are available. User-made scripts can be deposited on the Property Sheet under the group Events.

Event Name

Description

On element selected

Is triggered when the user clicks on an element of the chart at runtime. In order to allow a drilldown, it is necessary to react on the user input at this point. The return values of the following functions are updated at the moment of the event:

getSelectedMember()
getSelectedModule()

On Component selected

Is triggered when the user selects the tile component during runtime. Contrary to On element selected, no return value is set.

Functions

The following functions are available. They can be addressed in the scripting editor of Designer. We differentiate between getter and setter functions as they get information from the extension or set its properties.

Layout111 represents a three-row layout with a single cell each. Layout122 would be a layout with a single headline cell and two cells in rows 2 and 3.
setLocale(string value)	GRAPHOMATETILE_1.setLocale("de");	Sets the locale setting to the passed value. Valid values are de (German), fr (French), en (English).
setModuleProperty (integer targetModule, string value targetProperty, string newValue)	GRAPHOMATETILE_1.setModuleProperty(1, "title", "Title set by script");	This script command can be used to change the properties of a given viewmodule. Depending on the viewmodule, the available properties can vary. As described above, the available commands can be read (and copied/pasted) from the scripting help popup. The parameter targetModule describes the layout slot the module is placed in (in a three-row layout, this would be 1, 2, and 3). targetProperty is the name of the property to be set.

The scripting help popup (see Modules tab in the manual) already contains the valid parameters for a given module. The order of the setSelection commands in the popup corresponds to the order in the Additional Property Sheet.
setSnapToGrid (boolean value)	GRAPHOMATETILE_1.setSnapToGrid (true);	If true is passed, the tile determines its own width/height according to the specified grid size.
