Element Details: Extra+Grid+Layer
 Back


Available in: Logi Info Source code name: ExtraXYLayer

Adds another layer to the chart. This allows multiple charts to be combined. There can be any number and combination of line, area, and bar charts placed together in the same chart. Data for the chart comes from either another column from the main DataLayer, or from another DataLayer under this element. Use the Transparency attribute to allow charts to be seen through each other.

NamePossible ValuesDescription
BarShape
TriangleRight
TriangleLeft
TriangleInverted
Triangle
Star6
Star5
Star4
Star3
Square
Pentagon
Hexagon
Circle
For Bar charts, sets the shape of the bars. Shaped bars look best when the 3-dimensional attribute is used.
BarWidth
UserDefined
Sets the width of bars for bar charts. By default, bar widths are determined automatically. This applies to only single bars. When the extra bar is set to SideBySide, this attribute takes no effect.
ChartDataColumn
UserDefined
(Required) Set this to a column returned from the DataLayer. It represents the data value for each item charted. These are listed across the y-axis.
ChartSymbol
SymbolX
SymbolTriangle
SymbolSquare
SymbolSolidSphere
SymbolGlassSphere2
SymbolGlassSphere
SymbolDiamond
SymbolCross
SymbolCircle
A symbol that identifies each data point on the chart. For XY charts, this can be used only for the Line and Spline charts to identify data points. When using a Crosstab Filter under the Chart's DataLayer, use comma-separated symbol values to assign different symbol values for each crosstab.
ChartSymbolEdgeColor
UserDefined
The color of the outside edge of the symbols. For Area charts, this is the color of the outside edge of the area chart layer, while for bar charts it is the edge color of each bar in the layer. Animated Bar Charts with Bar Style = Rounded Edge will ignore this attribute. Enter a color by name, decimal RGB value, or hex RGB value. Prefix hex values with the pound sign, like #112233.
ChartSymbolSize
UserDefined
The size, in pixels, of a chart symbol. You can make a scatter into a bubble chart. Instead of a specific number, specify a numeric column returned with the data. The default is 4.
Color
UserDefined
Sets the element's color. Enter a color by name, decimal RGB value, or hex RGB value. Prefix hex values with the pound sign, like #112233. For bar charts, each bar can be a different color by entering multiple colors, each separated by a comma. When using a Crosstab Filter under the Chart's DataLayer, use comma-separated colors and a Legend element so each crosstab set can be identified.
D3
UserDefined
False
2
15
Indicates if the chart, or chart layer, is displayed in a 3-dimensional format. Set the value to False or 0 for a flat appearance. For animated charts, the value can be True or False. For other elements, the value is in pixels, so the larger the value, the thicker the 3-D effect.
ID
UserDefined
The ID attribute is a pervasive attribute that uniquely identifies an element within a definition file. The ID needs to be a unique value within the definition.
LegendLabel
UserDefined
Indicates text that will be shown for this layer inside the chart legend.
LineColorDataColumn
UserDefined
Set this to a column returned from the DataLayer. It represents the Color Change for the Line at each item, or data value. Only used by Static Line Charts.
LineStyle
SolidLine
LargeDashLine
LargeDashDotLine
DoubleDashLine
DotSpaceDotLine
DotLine
DotDashLine
DashLine
The style of the chart's line. This is used to change the pattern on the line. It can be set to dots, dashes or a combination of the two.
LineStyleDataColumn
UserDefined
Set this to a column returned from the DataLayer. It represents the Line Style change at each item, or data value. Only used by Static Line Charts.
LineWidth
UserDefined
The width of the line, in pixels.
ShowDataValues
True
False
Indicates if the values of each data point should be shown on the chart. For TrendLines, displays the line's slope value.
Transparency
UserDefined
7
15
0
Indicates a level of transparency of the element. The lowest value of 0 indicates that the element is opaque, with no transparency. The other end of the scale, 15, indicates a completely transparent element. Use medium-level transparency to allow different chart layers to show through each other.
XYChartType
Spline
Line
Bar
Area
(Required) The type of grid chart; bar, line, splined line, or area.
