Class Methods

 

 

function HideTicks($aFlg,$aAngleFlg)
HIde ticks marks

ArgumentDefaultDescription
$aFlg true Hide radius tick marks
$aAngleFlg true Hide angle tick marks

Description
HIde ticks marks 

Example

// Hide just the angle tick marks
$polargraph->axis->HideTicks(false,true);

 

 

function SetAngleFont($aFontFam,$aFontStyle,$aFontSize)
Set font for angles

ArgumentDefaultDescription
$aFontFam  Font family
$aFontStyle FS_NORMAL Font style
$aFontSize 10 Font size

Description
Set font for angle labels on the polar graph. 

Example

$polargraph->axis->SetAngleFont(FF_ARIAL,FS_NORMAL,8);

 

 

function SetAngleStep($aStep)
Set angle step

ArgumentDefaultDescription
$aStep  Step in degrees

Description
Specify the angle step, in degrees, between the angle markers. 

Example

// Set 20 degrees between each marker
$polargraph->axis->SetAngleStep(20);

 

 

function SetColor($aColor,$aRadColor,$aAngleColor)
Specify axis and label colors

ArgumentDefaultDescription
$aColor  Color for radius axis
$aRadColor '' Color for radius labels
$aAngleColor '' Color for angle labels

Description

PolarAxis::SetGridColor

Example

$polargraph->axis->SetColor('black','navy','darkred');

 

 

function SetGridColor($aMajorColor,$aMinorColor,$aAngleColor)
Set colors for the various grids

ArgumentDefaultDescription
$aMajorColor  Major radius grid color
$aMinorColor '' Minor radius grid color
$aAngleColor '' Angle grid color

Description
Set colors for the various grids 

Example

// Set "Soft" colors for the grid
$polargraph->axis->SetGridColor('lightgray','lightgray','lightgray');

 

 

function SetTickColors($aRadColor,$aAngleColor)
Specify color for axis tick marks

ArgumentDefaultDescription

$aAngleColor '' Angle axis colors

Description
Specify color for axis tick marks 

Example

$polargraph->axis->SetTickColor('red');

 

 

function ShowAngleDegreeMark($aFlg)
Add a degree mark after each angel label

ArgumentDefaultDescription
$aFlg true True=Add mark

Description
Add a degree mark after each angel label ( a small sperscripted 'o' ). This is enabled by default. 

Example

$polargraph->axis->ShowAngleDegreeMark(true);

 

 

function ShowAngleLabel($aFlg)
Show angle labels

ArgumentDefaultDescription
$aFlg true True=show labels

Description
Show angle labels. This is on by default. 

Example

// Enable angle labels
$polargraph->axis->ShowAngleLabel();

 

 

function ShowGrid($aMajor,$aMinor,$aAngle)
Determine what grid lines should be visible

ArgumentDefaultDescription
$aMajor true Show major radius grid lines
$aMinor false Show minor radius grid lines
$aAngle true Show angle grid lines

Description
Determine what grid lines should be visible. 

Example

// Just display major radius grid line and angles
$polargraph->axis->ShowGrid(true,false,true);
