Description
Sets the transparency percentage for a data point in a series in a DirectX 3D graph.
Applies to
DataWindow control
Syntax
integer dwcontrol.SetDataTransparency ( string graphcontrol, integer seriesnumber, int datapoint, int transparency)

                               Argument  | 
                           
                               Description  | 
                        
|---|---|
| 
                               dwcontrol  | 
                           
                               A reference to the DataWindow control containing the graph.  | 
                        
| 
                               graphcontrol  | 
                           
                               A string whose value is the name of the graph in the DataWindow control.  | 
                        
| 
                               seriesnumber  | 
                           
                               The number that identifies the series in which you want to set the transparency value of a data point.  | 
                        
| 
                               datapoint  | 
                           
                               The number of the data point for which you want to set a transparency value.  | 
                        
| 
                               transparency  | 
                           
                               Integer value for percent transparency. A value of 0 means that the data point is opaque and a value of 100 means that it is completely transparent.  | 
                        
Return value
Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any argument's value is null, SetDataTransparency returns null.
Usage
SetDataTransparency sets the transparency value of a data point in any DirectX 3D graph (those with 3D rendering).
Examples
These statements set the transparency percentage to 50% for data point 3 in the series named Costs in the graph gr_1 in the DataWindow control dw_employee:
integer SeriesNbr, ItemNbr, TransNbr
grObjectType clickedtype
// Get the number of the series and datapoint
clickedtype = this.ObjectAtPointer("gr_1", &
      SeriesNbr, ItemNbr)
//The following statement sets Transparency to 50%
TransNbr = 50
      
dw_employee.SetDataTransparency("gr_1", &
      SeriesNbr, ItemNbr, TransNbr)See also
