User-defined custom charting

[clee33]

Hi,

I'm trying to give the user the ability to type in a number and then once they submit, it'll alter the chart based on their input. For example, if the user types in 5 and presses a submit button, the chart would render a line with a slope of 5. On top of that, I'd want the existing other data plots to stay there.

I have an idea on how I plan to come up with the user-defined XML plot data with setDataXML, but it's taking the already charted data that's giving me issues.

Thanks,

clee33

Thank you.

This helps but it doesn't allow me to use part of the existing chart. I'm plotting 3 data sets and want to use 2 existing and 1 custom defined. Can I read into the XML into a string and use that to create the full XML file?

Hi,

In that case you just need to pass values to the 'value' attribute of that particular <set> element(here the third column) which you wish to take up values dynamically before re-rendering the chart.

Hope this helps.

Can you elaborate a little on this? What's the syntax on passing only one set's values?

Hi,

In case you wish to customize the third column and keep the other two settings same, you need to re-render the chart after the customization.

Hope this helps.
