Specifies the appearance of a series in a graph. There are several syntaxes, depending on what settings you want to change.
To |
Use |
|---|---|
Set the series’ colors |
|
Set the line style and width |
|
Set the fill pattern for the series |
|
Set the symbol for the series |
|
Specify that the series is an overlay |
Specifies the colors of a series in a graph.
integer dwcontrol.SetSeriesStyle ( string graphcontrol, string seriesname, grColorType colortype, long color )
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. |
seriesname |
A string whose value is the name of the series for which you want to set the color. |
colortype |
A value of the grColorType enumerated datatype specifying the item for which you want to set the color. For a list of values, see grColorType. |
color |
A long specifying an RGB value for the new color. |
Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any argument’s value is NULL, SetSeriesStyle returns NULL.
Data points in a series can have their own style settings. Settings made with SetDataStyle set the style of individual data points and override series settings.
The graph stores style information for properties that do not apply to the current graph type. For example, you can set the fill pattern in a two-dimensional line graph or the line style in a bar graph, but that fill pattern or line style will not be visible.
You can specify the appearance of a series in the graph before the application draws the graph. To do so, define a user event for pbm_dwngraphcreate and call SetSeriesStyle in the script for that event. The event pbm_dwngraphcreate is triggered just before a graph is created in a DataWindow object.
This statement sets the background color of the series named Salary in the graph gr_depts in the DataWindow control dw_employees to black:
dw_employees.SetSeriesStyle("gr_depts", &
"Salary", Background!, 0)
These statements in the Clicked event of the graph control gr_product_data coordinate line color between it and the graph gr_sales_data. The script stores the line color for the series under the mouse pointer in the graph gr_product_data in the variable line_color. Then it sets the line color for the series Northeast in the graph gr_sales_data within the DataWindowcontrol dw_sales to that color:
string SeriesName
integer SeriesNbr, Series_Point
long line_color
grObjectType MouseHit
MouseHit = This.ObjectAtPointer( &
SeriesNbr,Series_Point)
IF MouseHit = TypeSeries! THEN
SeriesName = &
gr_product_data.SeriesName(SeriesNbr)
gr_product_data.GetSeriesStyle(SeriesName, &
LineColor!, line_color)
dw_sales.SetSeriesStyle("gr_sales_data", &
"Northeast", LineColor!, line_color)
END IF
Specifies the style and width of a series’ lines in a graph.
integer dwcontrol.SetSeriesStyle ( string graphcontrol, string seriesname, LineStyle linestyle {, integer linewidth } )
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. |
seriesname |
A string whose value is the name of the series for which you want to set the line style and width. |
linestyle |
A value of the LineStyle enumerated datatype specifying the line style. For a list of values, see LineStyle. |
linewidth (optional) |
An integer specifying the width of the line in pixels. |
Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any argument’s value is NULL, SetSeriesStyle returns NULL.

This statement sets the line style and width for the series named Costs in the graph gr_product_data in the DataWindow dw_prod:
dw_prod.SetSeriesStyle("gr_product_data", "Costs", &
Dot!, 5)
Specifies the fill pattern for data markers in a series.
integer dwcontrol.SetSeriesStyle ( string graphcontrol, string seriesname, FillPattern fillvalue )
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. |
seriesname |
A string whose value is the name of the series in which you want to set the appearance. |
fillvalue |
A value of the FillPattern enumerated datatype specifying the fill pattern for the series. For a list of values, see FillPattern. |
Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any argument’s value is NULL, SetSeriesStyle returns NULL.

This statement sets the fill pattern used for the series named Costs in the graph gr_computers in the DataWindow control dw_equipment to Horizontal:
dw_equipment.SetSeriesStyle("gr_computers", &
"Costs", Horizontal!)
Specifies the symbol for data markers in a series.
integer dwcontrol.SetSeriesStyle ( string graphcontrol, string seriesname, grSymbolType symbolvalue )
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. |
seriesname |
A string whose value is the name of the series in which you want to set the appearance. |
symbolvalue |
A value of the grSymbolType enumerated datatype specifying the symbol for the series. For a list of values, see grSymbolType. |
Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any argument’s value is NULL, SetSeriesStyle returns NULL.

This statement sets the symbol for the series named Costs in the graph gr_computers in the DataWindow control dw_equipment to X:
dw_equipment.SetSeriesStyle("gr_computers", &
"Costs", SymbolX!)
Specifies whether a series is an overlay, meaning that the series is represented by a line on top of another graph type.

Argument |
Description |
|---|---|

A string whose value is the name of the graph in the DataWindow control. |
series |
A string whose value is the name of the series whose overlay status you want to change. |
overlaystyle |
A boolean value indicating whether you want the series to be an overlay, meaning that the series is shown in front as a line. Set overlaystyle to TRUE to make the specified series an overlay. Set it to FALSE to remove the overlay setting. |
Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any argument’s value is NULL, SetSeriesStyle returns NULL.
You can specify the appearance of a series in the graph before the application draws the graph. To do so, define a user event for pbm_dwngraphcreate and call SetSeriesStyle in the script for that event. The event pbm_dwngraphcreate is triggered just before a graph is created in a DataWindow object.
These statements in the Clicked event of the DataWindow control dw_employees store the style of the series under the pointer in the graph gr_depts in the variable style_type. If the style of the series is overlay (TRUE), the script changes the style to normal (FALSE):
string SeriesName
integer SeriesNbr, Data_Point
boolean overlay_style
grObjectType MouseHit
MouseHit = dw_employees.ObjectAtPointer( &
"gr_depts", SeriesNbr, Data_Point)
IF MouseHit = TypeSeries! THEN

dw_employees.SeriesName("gr_depts",SeriesNbr)
dw_employees.GetSeriesStyle("gr_depts", &
SeriesName, overlay_style)
IF overlay_style THEN &
dw_employees.SetSeriesStyle("gr_depts", &
SeriesName, FALSE)
END IF
