Parameters

• Libraries.Interface.Layouts.LayoutProperties

This action locks the y-intercepts of regression lines to the given value (most commonly 0).

Parameters

• number intercept: The new y-intercept value that all regression lines in the chart must pass through.

This action is fired if the item lost the focus.

Parameters

• Libraries.Interface.Events.FocusEvent

Unlike many kinds of user interface controls, there is no universal way of interacting with a chart and, as such, this may be defined by any chart to be custom. As such, charts must be able to take messages suggesting an item in the chart has either lost or gained the focus. Broadly speaking, this is done automatically and while charts need to implement this action, they do not need to call this action directly. This action will control the GainedSelection for ChartItems shared amoung all charts. Any ChartItems specific to one type of chart (i.e. lines for LineCharts) will have an addition GainedSelection action defined in the inherited class.

LostSelection is a supplemental action to the parent Chart's LostSelection. Any items specific to only this type of chart or if an item needs different highlighting instructions than that of the parent class, it will have their LostSelection defined here. Unlike many kinds of user interface controls, there is no universal way of interacting with a chart and, as such, this may be defined by any chart to be custom. As such, charts must be able to take messages suggesting an item in the chart has either lost or gained the focus. Broadly speaking, this is done automatically and while charts need to implement this action, they do not need to call this action directly.

OnSelectionChange is a supplemental action to the parent Chart's OnSelectionChange. Any items specific to only this type of chart or if an item needs different highlighting instructions than that of the parent class, it will have their GainedSelection defined here. Unlike many kinds of user interface controls, there is no universal way of interacting with a chart and, as such, this may be defined by any chart to be custom. As such, charts must be able to take messages suggesting an item in the chart has either lost or gained the focus. Broadly speaking, this is done automatically and while charts need to implement this action, they do not need to call this action directly.

Parameters

• Libraries.Interface.Controls.Charts.ChartItem: the ChartItem representing the structure for this particular kind of chart.

This action sets the order the bars appear in the chart. The bars will appear in the same order that their names appear in the given input array. The input array must contain each name of the bars exactly once. If the array doesn't include all of the names, if any names are repeated, or if any name in the array doesn't appear in the chart, an error will occur.

Parameters

• Libraries.Containers.Array: An array containing the names of the bars or bar groups, in the order they should appear in the chart.

This action returns the value of a flag for tracking whether the orientation has changed.

Return

boolean:

This action is used by the layout to position the graphical components of the Chart. Layout is handled automatically so users don't need to use this action directly.

Parameters

• Libraries.Containers.Array

This action is used by the layout to position the graphical components of the Chart. Layout is handled automatically so users don't need to use this action directly.

Parameters

• Libraries.Containers.Array

Checks to see if the Item2D's internal vertices are up to date, and updates them if they are not. This is used primarily internally to ensure that the item's vertices are properly aligned before use, e.g. to project an image on the screen at the coordinates of the vertices. Most users will never need to use this action directly.

This action takes a gesture event and handles it. It will first test to see if the gesture event took place within the bounds of this Item. If so, it will notify any GestureListeners of the event. If the event was not contained within this Item, or if there are no GestureListeners on this Item, the Item will ask its parent Item to process the event, if there is a parent.

Parameters

This action takes a mouse event and handles it. It will first test to see if the mouse event took place within the bounds of this Item. If so, it will notify any MouseListeners of the event. If the event was not contained within this Item, or if there are no MouseListeners on this Item, the Item will ask its parent Item to process the mouse event, if there is a parent.

Parameters

This action takes a touch event and handles it. It will first test to see if the touch event took place within the bounds of this Item. If so, it will notify any TouchListeners of the event. If the event was not contained within this Item, or if there are no TouchListeners on this Item, the Item will ask its parent Item to process the touch event, if there is a parent.

Parameters

• Libraries.Interface.Events.TouchEvent

This action is used to draw this Item on the screen, and then draw all of the Item's children hierarchy on the screen. Note that Items themselves can not be drawn, but some classes that extend the Item class, such as the Libraries.Game.Graphics.Drawable class, can be. To see how they draw, see their documentation.

Parameters

This action requests that this Control (as well as all of its descendents) should reload their graphics during the next Update.

This action informs the engine that this Item needs to recalculate its vertex values before they can be used (most commonly, to be drawn to the screen). Most users will never need to call this directly. If you are using a custom ShaderProgram with this Item, you can use this action to indicate that the shader mapping should reset the vertex values for this Item before its drawn again.

This action sets the y-component of this item's linear velocity in units per second. Physics must be enabled on this item before using this action.

Parameters

• boolean flag

This action is used to indicate that the Control no longer needs to be laid out. This is called internally by the system as needed, and shouldn't be necessary for most users.

Parameters

• boolean accepts: True to set this Item to receive mouse events, or false to ignore them.

This action changes the accessibility code for this Item. This should be done with care because setting the accessiblity code to the incorrect type can cause accessibility to stop functioning or, in some cases, cause the program to crash.

Parameters

• integer newAccessibilityCode: the new accessibility code for this Item.

This action sets a flag to know if all of the accessibility information should be included. This may be used to reduce the size of the image in cases where it will be used as a flat image such as in a PDF.

Parameters

• boolean hasAccessibility: flag to tell the ChartWriter if it should include accessibility elements and tags.

This action sets a custom accessibility role description for this item. This should only be done if there is not a standard accessibility code for the type of item being implemented. If the item behaves very similarly to a standard control type, then set the accessibility code to that standard type while also setting the role description. For example, if implementing an item that extends Control, is keyboard focusable, and responds to activation via both mouse clicks and the Space key, like a button, but it shouldn't be described as a button, then set the accessibility code to BUTTON and the custom role description to whatever is appropriate. If there isn't a suitable accessibility code, or if in doubt, set the accessibility code to CUSTOM.

Parameters

• text newRoleDescription: the new custom role description for this Item.

This action gets the rotational inertia of this item. The inertia is in kilogram units squared.
