XY Line Renderer

This renderer is a subtype of XY Renderer used in conjunction with an XY Plot to create line charts. It displays data items by drawing a shape at each data point and/or connecting data points with straight lines.

The table defining item-to-item line visibility for individual data series.

Property name: seriesLinesVisible

Property type: Data Table

Property name: seriesShapesVisible

Property type: Data Table

The table controlling item shape filling for individual data series.

Property name: seriesShapesFilled

Property type: Data Table

Default value for visibility of lines between data items.

Property name: baseLinesVisible

Property type: Boolean

This renderer allows a simple customization of the legend display where you can specify the shape (typically a line, but any shape is permitted) that will represent each series in the legend.

Property name: legendLine

Property type: Data Table

Flag that controls whether or not outlines are drawn around item shapes.

Property name: drawOutlines

Property type: Boolean

It is common to used a dashed stroke to draw the connecting lines between items within a series. An issue arises when the items within a series are close together on the chart, because by default the renderer will draw the connecting line individually for each data item (connecting the current item to the previous item). The stroke pattern for the line is reset for each segment, which can result in the stroke pattern not being visible for the series. A workaround is available, in which the connecting lines for the entire series are drawn as a single line.

Draw Series Line As Path flag that controls whether the connecting lines between the data items are drawn as a path, or individually.

Property name: drawSeriesLineAsPath

Property type: Boolean

Flag that controls whether the series fill paint or the regular series paint is used to fill item shapes.

Property name: useFillPaint

Property type: Boolean

Flag that controls which paint is used for the shape outlines. The renderer uses one of two possible colors for the shape outlines

• The outline paint for the current series, or
• The regular paint for the current series.

Property name: useOutlinePaint

Property type: Boolean
