Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ __construct()

core\chart_base::__construct ( )

Constructor.

Must not take any argument.

Most of the time you do not want to extend this, rather extend the method self::set_defaults to set the defaults on instantiation.

Member Function Documentation

◆ add_series()

core\chart_base::add_series ( chart_series $serie)

Add a series to the chart.

Parameters
chart_series$serieThe serie.

◆ get_labels()

core\chart_base::get_labels ( )

Get the labels of the X axis.

Return values
string[]

◆ get_legend_options()

core\chart_base::get_legend_options ( )

Get an array of options for the chart legend.

Return values
array

◆ get_series()

core\chart_base::get_series ( )

Get the series.

Return values
chart_series[]

◆ get_title()

core\chart_base::get_title ( )

Get the title.

Return values
string

◆ get_type()

core\chart_base::get_type ( )

Get the chart type.

Return values
string

◆ get_xaxes()

core\chart_base::get_xaxes ( )

Get the X axes.

Return values
chart_axis[]

◆ get_xaxis()

core\chart_base::get_xaxis ( $index = 0,
$createifnotexists = false )

Get an X axis.

Parameters
int$indexThe index of the axis.
bool$createifnotexistsWhen true, create an instance of the axis if none exist at this index yet.
Return values
chart_axis

◆ get_yaxes()

core\chart_base::get_yaxes ( )

Get the Y axes.

Return values
chart_axis[]

◆ get_yaxis()

core\chart_base::get_yaxis ( $index = 0,
$createifnotexists = false )

Get a Y axis.

Parameters
int$indexThe index of the axis.
bool$createifnotexistsWhen true, create an instance of the axis if none exist at this index yet.
Return values
chart_axis

◆ jsonSerialize()

core\chart_base::jsonSerialize ( )

Serialize the object.

Return values
array

Reimplemented in core\chart_bar, core\chart_line, and core\chart_pie.

◆ set_defaults()

core\chart_base::set_defaults ( )
protected

Set the defaults for this chart type.

Child classes can extend this to set default values on instantiation.

In general the constructor could be used, but this method is here to emphasize and self-document the default values set by the chart type.

Return values
void

Reimplemented in core\chart_bar.

◆ set_labels()

core\chart_base::set_labels ( array $labels)

Set the chart labels.

Parameters
string[]$labelsThe labels.

◆ set_legend_options()

core\chart_base::set_legend_options ( array $legendoptions)

Set options for the chart legend.

See https://www.chartjs.org/docs/2.7.0/configuration/legend.html for options.

Note: Setting onClick and onHover events is not directly supported through this method. These config options must be set directly within Javascript on the page.

Parameters
array$legendoptionsWhether or not to display the chart's legend.

◆ set_title()

core\chart_base::set_title ( $title)

Set the title.

Parameters
string$titleThe title.

◆ set_xaxis()

core\chart_base::set_xaxis ( chart_axis $axis,
$index = 0 )

Set an X axis.

Note that this will override any predefined axis without warning.

Parameters
chart_axis$axisThe axis.
int$indexThe index of the axis.

◆ set_yaxis()

core\chart_base::set_yaxis ( chart_axis $axis,
$index = 0 )

Set an Y axis.

Note that this will override any predefined axis without warning.

Parameters
chart_axis$axisThe axis.
int$indexThe index of the axis.

◆ validate_axis()

core\chart_base::validate_axis ( $xy,
chart_axis $axis,
$index = 0 )
protected

Validate an axis.

We validate this from PHP because not doing it here could result in errors being hard to trace down. For instance, if we were to add axis at keys without another axis preceding, we would effectively contain the axes in an associative array rather than a simple array, and that would have consequences on serialisation.

Parameters
string$xyAccepts x or y.
chart_axis$axisThe axis to validate.
index$indexThe index of the axis.
