Argument

Description

dwcontrol

A reference to the DataWindow control containing the graph.

graphcontrol 

A string whose value is the name of the graph in the DataWindow control.

seriesnumber

The number that identifies the series in which you want to set the transparency value of a data point.

datapoint

The number of the data point for which you want to set a transparency value.

transparency

Examples

These statements set the transparency percentage to 50% for data point 3 in the series named Costs in the graph gr_1 in the DataWindow control dw_employee:

integer SeriesNbr, ItemNbr, TransNbr
grObjectType clickedtype
// Get the number of the series and datapoint
clickedtype = this.ObjectAtPointer("gr_1", &
      SeriesNbr, ItemNbr)
//The following statement sets Transparency to 50%
TransNbr = 50
      
dw_employee.SetDataTransparency("gr_1", &
      SeriesNbr, ItemNbr, TransNbr)
