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.

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

• Libraries.Interface.Events.GestureEvent

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

• Libraries.Interface.Events.MouseEvent

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.

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.
