Properties
backgroundColor # |
Type Default Background color. You should set backgroundAlpha to >0 value in order background to be visible. We recommend setting background color directly on a chart's DIV instead of using this property. |
---|---|
balloon # |
Type Default The chart creates AmBalloon class itself. If you want to customize balloon, get balloon instance using this property, and then change balloon's properties. |
borderAlpha # |
Type Default Opacity of chart's border. Value range is 0 - 1. |
borderColor # |
Type Default Color of chart's border. You should set borderAlpha >0 in order border to be visible. We recommend setting border color directly on a chart's DIV instead of using this property. |
color # |
Type Default Text color. |
dataProvider # |
Type Array of data objects, for example: [{country:"US", value:524},{country:"UK", value:624},{country:"Lithuania", value:824}]. You can have any number of fields and use any field names. In case of AmMap, data provider should be MapData object. |
fontFamily # |
Type Default Font family. |
fontSize # |
Type Default Font size. |
height # |
Type Default Height of a chart. "100%" means the chart's height will be equal to it's container's (DIV) height and will resize if height of the container changes. Set a number instead of percents if your chart's size needs to be fixed. |
legendDiv # |
Type Reference to the div of the legend. |
numberFormatter # |
Type Default Object with precision, decimalSeparator and thousandsSeparator set which will be used for number formatting. Precision set to -1 means that values won't be rounded. |
panEventsEnabled # |
Type Default This setting affects touch-screen devices only. If a chart is on a page, and panEventsEnabled are set to true, the page won't move if the user touches the chart first. If a chart is big enough and occupies all the screen of your touch device, the user won’t be able to move the page at all. That's why the default value is "false". If you think that selecting/panning the chart or moving/pinching the map is a primary purpose of your users, you should set panEventsEnabled to true. |
pathToImages # |
Type Specifies path to the folder where images like resize grips, lens and similar are. |
percentFormatter # |
Type Default Object with precision, decimalSeparator and thousandsSeparator set which will be used for formatting percent values. |
prefixesOfBigNumbers # |
Type Default Prefixes which are used to make big numbers shorter: 2M instead of 2000000, etc. Prefixes are used on value axes and in the legend. To enable prefixes, set usePrefixes property to true. |
prefixesOfSmallNumbers # |
Type Default Prefixes which are used to make small numbers shorter: 2μ instead of 0.000002, etc. Prefixes are used on value axes and in the legend. To enable prefixes, set usePrefixes property to true. |
usePrefixes # |
Type Default If true, prefixes will be used for big and small numbers. You can set arrays of prefixes via prefixesOfSmallNumbers and prefixesOfBigNumbers properties. |
version # |
Type Read-only. Indicates current version of a script. |
