The following properties can be configured for Area series components:
| Property |
Description |
| Name |
The name of the series in the Component Hierarchy palette. |
| Series Name |
The name of the series. This value is displayed as a text entry in the chart legend. |
| X Field |
The name of the attribute in each CDF record containing x-coordinate values. |
| Y Field |
The name of the attribute in each CDF record containing y-coordinate values. |
| Min Field |
The CDF record attribute containing the minimum y-value of the area. This field is optional. |
| Type |
The form of the area series, which defines how to connect data points. The type, segment, draws straight lines between points. step draws the horizontal portion and then the vertical portion of the space between points. reverseStep draws the vertical portion and then the horizontal portion of the space between steps. The default value is segment. |
| Fill |
The vector fill to use for the series. The syntax is color [alpha] where color is specified as a predefined color name, RGB, or hexadecimal value. For example, red, rgb(255,0,0), or #ff0000. alpha is an optional float value between 0.0 and 1.0. |
| Stroke |
The vector stroke to use for the series. The syntax is color [alpha], where color is specified as a predefined color name, RGB, or hexadecimal value. For example, red, rgb(255,0,0), or #ff0000. alpha is an optional float value between 0.0 and 1.0. |
| Fill Gradient |
The vector fill gradient used for points in the series. The syntax is color2 [angle [alpha2 [percent stop color,]*]]. The gradient is rendered starting from the main fill color/fill alpha and ending at color2/alpha2 along the specified angle. Optional intermediate colors along the way are defined by percent and stop_color pairs. Pairs are separated by commas. For example, red 0 1 50% white, 75% black. color2 is specified as a predefined color name, RGB, or hexadecimal value. For example, red, rgb(255,0,0), or #ff0000. angle specifies the angle of the gradient vector measured in degrees (between 0 and 360) counter-clockwise from 12 o'clock. alpha2 is an optional float value between 0.0 and 1.0. |
| Point Renderer |
The optional shape displayed at each data point, in front of the line connecting the data points. Either select one of the default shapes (circle, cross, diamond, box, or triangle) from the property menu, or type the name of a custom point renderer. |
| Point Radius |
The radius of the shapes to draw at each data point. The default value is 4. |
| Point Fill |
The vector fill to use for points. The syntax is color [alpha], where color is specified as a predefined color name, RGB, or hexadecimal value. For example, red, rgb(255,0,0), or #ff0000. alpha is an optional float value between 0.0 and 1.0. |
| Point Stroke |
The vector stroke to use for points. The syntax is color [width [alpha]], where color is specified as a predefined color name, RGB, or hexadecimal value. For example, red, rgb(255,0,0), or #ff0000. width is an optional integer value specifying the width of the point in pixels. alpha is an optional float value between 0.0 and 1.0. |
| Point Gradient |
The vector fill gradient to use for points. The syntax is color2 [angle [alpha2 [percent stop color,]*]]. The gradient is rendered starting from the main fill color/fill alpha and ending at color2/alpha2 along the specified angle. Optional intermediate colors along the way are defined by percent and stop_color pairs. Pairs are separated by commas. For example, red 0 1 50% white, 75% black. color2 is specified as a predefined color name, RGB, or hexadecimal value. For example, red, rgb(255,0,0), or #ff0000. angle specifies the angle of the gradient vector measured in degrees (between 0 and 360) counter-clockwise from 12 o'clock. alpha2 is an optional float value between 0.0 and 1.0. |
| Color Function |
A static function used to color per-category regions in a series. A category corresponds to one row in a CDF document. |
| Display |
Whether the series displays in the chart. The default value is block, which specifies to display the series. If none is selected, the series is not displayed in the chart but remains in the Component Hierarchy palette. |
| Tooltip Function |
A function that generates mouse-over tooltips for series shapes. The default value varies according to series type. |
| Bound Menu |
A menu to display when a user right-clicks on the series with the mouse. Specify the name of the menu component as displayed in the Component Hierarchy palette. |
