DrawArea.dashLineColor

ChartDirector Ver 3.1 (PHP Edition Edition)

Usage

dashLineColor(color, patternCode)

Description

Create a dash line color.

A dash line color is a dynamic color that switches on and off periodically. When it is used to draw a line, the line will appear as a dash line.

The style of the dash line is defined by a pattern code, which is a 4-byte integer. A value of PPQQRRSS (in hex) means the first PP pixels are turned on, followed by QQ pixels turned off, followed by RR pixels turned on, followed by SS pixels turned off, and then restart from PP again.

ChartDirector comes from several predefined constants for common dash line patterns.

Name	Value (in Hex)	Dash Line Style
DashLine	00000505
DotLine	00000202
DotDashLine	05050205
AltDashLine	0A050505

Arguments

Argument	Default	Description
color	(Mandatory)	The color to draw the dash line.
patternCode	(Mandatory)	A 4-byte integer representing the style of the dash line.

Return Value

Return a 32-bit integer acting as a handle to the dash line color. The handle can be used in any ChartDirector API that expects a color as an argument.

ved using Box.getImageCoor. This allows <AREA> tags for TextBox objects be created easily.

(For TextBox, there is no "getHTMLImageMap" method. It is because each TextBox object only has one hot spot. It is more convenient to enter the handler URL and tool tip text directly into the <AREA> tag, rather than generating them using getHTMLImageMap.)

In this example, the image map coordinates of the chart title, vertical mark label, and the copyright message are obtained using Box.getImageCoor:

$titleCoor = $title->getImageCoor(); $markCoor = $mark->getImageCoor(); $copyRightCoor = $copyRight->getImageCoor();

The image map coordinates are then used to make <AREA> tags as follows:

<area <?php echo $titleCoor?> href='javascript:doSomething();' title='The title is clickable!'> <area <?php echo $markCoor?> href='javascript:doSomething();' title='The "Merge with Star Tech" text is clickable!'> <area <?php echo $copyRightCoor?> href='javascript:doSomething();' title='The copyright text is clickable!'>
