SetSeriesTransparency

Description

Sets the tranparency percentage of a series in a DirectX 3D graph (those with 3D rendering).

Applies to

Graph controls in windows and user objects, and graphs in DataWindow controls

Syntax

controlname.SetSeriesTransparency ( { graphcontrol, } series, transparency )

Argument

Description

controlname

The name of the graph in which you want to set a series transparency value, or the name of the DataWindow control containing the graph.

graphcontrol (DataWindow control only)

(Optional) A string whose value is the name of the graph in the DataWindow control in which you want to set a series transparency value.

series

The string that identifies the series for which you want to set the transparency value.

transparency

Integer value for percent transparency. A value of 0 means that the series is opaque and a value of 100 means that it is completely transparent.


Return value

Integer.

Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any argument's value is null, SetSeriesTransparency returns null.

Usage

SetSeriesTransparency sets the transparency value for a series in any DirectX 3D graph (those with 3D rendering).

Examples

These statements set the transparency percentage to 50% for the clicked series in the graph gr_1 in the DataWindow control dw_employee:

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

These statements set the transparency to 50% for the clicked series in the graph gr_employee.

integer SeriesNbr, ItemNbr, TransNbr
string ls_SeriesName
grObjectType clickedtype
 
clickedtype = gr_employee.ObjectAtPointer( &
      SeriesNbr, ItemNbr)
 
ls_SeriesName = gr_employee.SeriesName(SeriesNbr)
 
TransNbr = 50
 
gr_employee.SetSeriesTransparency( & 
      ls_SeriesName, TransNbr)
