Settings

Set these settings on a Grid object using its set() and setAll() methods.

Read about settings concept.

active #	Type `undefined` \| `false` \| `true` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` Applies the element's `"active"` state while `true`.
animations #	Type `Array` Inherited from `IEntitySettings` Animations the element plays on its own, described as data - so they can be set from a JSON config and saved with it. Each one animates a setting of the element (or, with `target: "dataItem"`, a value of its data item - a map point's `positionOnLine`, say). They start when the setting is applied, restart when it changes, and stop when the element is disposed. A saved config keeps what was configured, never a value caught half way through an animation. sprite.set("animations", [ { key: "rotation", to: 360, duration: 4000, loops: 0 }, { key: "scale", from: 1, to: 1.3, duration: 800, loops: 0, yoyo: true, easing: "sine" } ]); @since 5.20.8
appearDelay #	Type `undefined` \| `number` Default `0` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` Milliseconds to wait before the `autoAppear` animation starts. The element stays hidden until then. @since 5.21.0
appearDuration #	Type `undefined` \| `number` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` Duration of the `autoAppear` animation, in milliseconds. Without it, the element's `stateAnimationDuration` is used. @since 5.21.0
ariaChecked #	Type `undefined` \| `false` \| `true` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` `aria-checked` setting. This setting is ignored unless `role` is one of the following: `"checkbox"` `"option"` `"radio"` `"menuitemcheckbox"` `"menuitemradio"` `"treeitem"` On a toggle `"button"` (one with `toggleKey`) it is exposed as `aria-pressed`.
ariaControls #	Type `undefined` \| `string` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` `aria-controls` setting.
ariaCurrent #	Type `undefined` \| `string` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` `aria-current` setting. Click here for more info @since 5.9.8
ariaExpanded #	Type `undefined` \| `false` \| `true` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` `aria-expanded` setting: whether the content the element shows or hides (e.g. a task's subtasks, a node's children) is shown. Click here for more info @since 5.21.0
ariaHidden #	Type `undefined` \| `false` \| `true` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` `aria-hidden` setting.
ariaLabel #	Type `undefined` \| `string` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` Label for the element to use for screen readers. Click here for more info
ariaLive #	Type `AriaLive` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` `aria-live` setting.
ariaOrientation #	Type `undefined` \| `string` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` `aria-orientation` setting.
ariaSelected #	Type `undefined` \| `false` \| `true` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` `aria-selected` setting. Click here for more info @since 5.9.8
ariaValueMax #	Type `undefined` \| `string` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` `aria-valuemax` setting.
ariaValueMin #	Type `undefined` \| `string` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` `aria-valuemin` setting.
ariaValueNow #	Type `undefined` \| `string` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` `aria-valuenow` setting.
ariaValueText #	Type `undefined` \| `string` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` `aria-valuetext` setting.
autoAppear #	Type `undefined` \| `false` \| `true` Default `false` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` Plays the element's reveal animation, as `appear()` does, when it is first drawn: a chart fades in, a series grows its columns or lines from the base. A series waits for its first data. It plays once: data updates do not replay it, but turning the setting off and on again does. Elements made from a template play as each one is made. An element that starts hidden (`visible: false`, or hidden in code before it is drawn) stays hidden. An `animations` entry on the same setting, such as a pulsing `opacity`, keeps playing. This is how a JSON config gets the opening animation, as a config cannot call `appear()`. chart.setAll({ autoAppear: true, appearDuration: 1000, appearDelay: 100 }); series.setAll({ autoAppear: true, appearDuration: 1000 }); chart.setAll({ autoAppear: true, appearDuration: 1000, appearDelay: 100 }); series.setAll({ autoAppear: true, appearDuration: 1000 }); Click here for more info @since 5.21.0

crisp #	Type `undefined` \| `false` \| `true` Default `false` Inherited from `ISpriteSettings` Draws the element sharply, with minimal anti-aliasing: its position is rounded to whole pixels, and `strokeWidth` is adjusted to the device pixel ratio, so lines may look thinner than expected.

It allows users to TAB-through chart elements quickly without the need to TAB into each and every element. It's up to implementer of the charts to provide meaningful `ariaLabel` to the element, which advertises this capability and provides adequate instructions. Click here for more info @since 5.0.6

Read about private settings.
