SetDataTransparency (obsolete)

Description

Sets the transparency percentage of a data point in a series in a DirectX 3D graph (those with 3D rendering).

Note

This function is obsolete. It is supported only for DirectX 3D graph rendering and is retained for backward compatibility. This function is not recommended for new development.

Applies to

Graph controls in windows and user objects, and graphs in DataWindow controls

Syntax

controlname.SetDataTransparency ( { graphcontrol, } seriesnumber, datapoint, transparency )

Argument

Description

controlname

The name of the graph in which you want to set data, or the name of the DataWindow control containing the graph.

graphcontrol (DataWindow control only)

(Optional) A string whose value is the name of the graph in the DataWindow control in which you want to set the transparency value of a data point.

seriesnumber

The number that identifies the series in which you want to set data.

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

Integer.

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 for a data point in any DirectX 3D graph (those with 3D rendering).

Examples

These statements set the transparency percentage to 50% for the clicked data 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)

These statements set the transparency percentage to 50% for the clicked data point in the graph gr_employee.

integer SeriesNbr, ItemNbr, TransNbr
grObjectType clickedtype
 
clickedtype = gr_employee.ObjectAtPointer( &
      SeriesNbr, ItemNbr)
 
TransNbr = 50
 
gr_employee.SetDataTransparency(SeriesNbr, &
      ItemNbr, TransNbr)
