Syntax 1 For setting a data point's colors

Description

Specifies the colors of a data point in a graph.

Applies to

PowerBuilder DataWindow

DataWindow control

Syntax

PowerBuilder

integer dwcontrol.SetDataStyle ( string graphcontrol, integer seriesnumber, integer datapointnumber, grColorType colortype, long color )

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 of the series in which you want to set the color of a data point.
datapointnumber	The number of the data point for which you want to set the color.
colortype	A value of the grColorType enumerated datatype (in PowerBuilder) specifying the aspect of the data point for which you want to set the color. For a list of values, see grColorType.
color	A long whose value is the new color for colortype.

Return value

Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any argument's value is null, SetDataStyle returns null.

Usage

To change the appearance of a series, use SetSeriesStyle. The settings you make for the series are the defaults for all data points in the series.

To reset the color of individual points back to the series color, call ResetDataColors.

You can specify the appearance of a data point in the graph before the application draws the graph. To do so, define a user event for pbm_dwngraphcreate and call SetDataStyle in the script for that event. The event pbm_dwngraphcreate is triggered just before a graph is created in a DataWindow object.

Using SetDataStyle with DirectX 3D Graphs

You can only set the color for the foreground. Background, line color, and shade are not supported.

Examples

PowerBuilder

These statements set the text (foreground) color to black for data point 6 in the series named Salary in the graph gr_depts in the DataWindow control dw_employees:

integer SeriesNbr
 
// Get the number of the series
SeriesNbr = &
      dw_employees.FindSeries("gr_depts" , "Salary")
 
// Set the background color
dw_employees.SetDataStyle("gr_depts" , SeriesNbr, &
      6, Background!, 0)

Syntax 2 For the line associated with a data point

Description

Specifies the style and width of a data point's line in a graph.

Applies to

PowerBuilder DataWindow

DataWindow control

Syntax

PowerBuilder

integer dwcontrol.SetDataStyle ( string graphcontrol, integer seriesnumber, integer datapointnumber, LineStyle linestyle {, integer linewidth } )

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 of the series in which you want to set the line style and width of a data point.
datapointnumber	The number of the data point for which you want to set the line style and width.
linestyle	A value of the LineStyle enumerated datatype (in PowerBuilder) specifying a line style pattern of dots, dashes, and solid lines. For a list of line style values, see LineStyle.
linewidth (optional for PowerBuilder)	An integer whose value is the width of the line in pixels.

Return value

Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any argument's value is null, SetDataStyle returns null.

Usage

To change the appearance of a series, use SetSeriesStyle. The settings you make for the series are the defaults for all data points in the series.

You can specify the appearance of a data point in the graph before the application draws the graph. To do so, define a user event for pbm_dwngraphcreate and call SetDataStyle in the script for that event. The event pbm_dwngraphcreate is triggered just before a graph is created in a DataWindow object.

Examples

PowerBuilder

This example checks the line style used for data point 10 in the series named Costs in the graph gr_computers in the DataWindow control dw_equipment. If it is dash-dot, the SetDataStyle sets it to continuous. The line width stays the same:

integer SeriesNbr, line_width
LineStyle line_style
 
// Get the number of the series
SeriesNbr = dw_equipment.FindSeries( &
      "gr_computers", "Costs")
 
// Get the current line style
dw_equipment.GetDataStyle("gr_computers", &
      SeriesNbr, 10, line_style, line_width)
 
// If the pattern is dash-dot, change to continuous
IF line_style = DashDot! THEN &
      dw_equipment.SetDataStyle("gr_computers", &
      SeriesNbr, 10, Continuous!, line_width)

Syntax 3 For the fill pattern of a data point

Description

Specifies the fill pattern for a data point in a graph.

Applies to

PowerBuilder DataWindow

DataWindow control

Syntax

PowerBuilder

integer dwcontrol.SetDataStyle ( string graphcontrol, integer seriesnumber, integer datapointnumber, FillPattern fillvalue )

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 of the series in which you want to set the appearance of a data point.
datapointnumber	The number of the data point for which you want to set the appearance.
fillvalue	A value of the FillPattern enumerated datatype (in PowerBuilder) specifying the fill pattern for the data point. For a list of values, see FillPattern.

Return value

Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any argument's value is null, SetDataStyle returns null.

Usage

Using SetDataStyle with DirectX 3D Graphs

You cannot use a fill pattern for a data point.

Syntax 4 For the symbol of a data point

Description

Specifies the symbol for a data point in a graph.

Applies to

PowerBuilder DataWindow

DataWindow control

Syntax

PowerBuilder

integer dwcontrol.SetDataStyle ( string graphcontrol, integer seriesnumber, integer datapointnumber, grSymbolType symbolvalue )

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 of the series in which you want to set the appearance of a data point.
datapointnumber	The number of the data point for which you want to set the appearance.
symbolvalue	A value of the grSymbolType enumerated datatype (in PowerBuilder) specifying the symbol for the data point. For a list of values, see grSymbolType.

Return value

Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any argument's value is null, SetDataStyle returns null.
