Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

ColumnSet is a grouping set that can be used to stack or cluster column series in any arbitrary chart. A ColumnSet encapsulates the same grouping behavior used in a ColumnChart, but can be used to assemble custom charts based on CartesianChart. ColumnSets can be used to cluster any chart element type that implements the IColumn interface. It can stack any chart element type that implements the IColumn and IStackable interfaces. Since ColumnSet itself implements the IColumn interface, you can use ColumnSets to cluster other ColumnSets to build more advanced custom charts.

Property Detail
columnWidthRatioproperty
columnWidthRatio:Number

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Specifies the width of columns relative to the category width. A value of 1 uses the entire space, while a value of .6 uses 60% of the column's available space. You typically do not set this property directly. The actual column width used is the smaller of columnWidthRatio and the maxColumnWidth property

The default value is 0.65.


Implementation
    public function get columnWidthRatio():Number
    public function set columnWidthRatio(value:Number):void
maxColumnWidthproperty 
maxColumnWidth:Number

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Specifies the width of the columns, in pixels. The actual column width used is the smaller of this style and the columnWidthRatio property. Clustered columns divide this space proportionally among the columns in each cluster.


Implementation
    public function get maxColumnWidth():Number
    public function set maxColumnWidth(value:Number):void
offsetproperty 
offset:Number

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Specifies how far to offset the center of the columns from the center of the available space, relative to the category width. At the value of default 0, the columns are centered on the space. Set to -50 to center the column at the beginning of the available space. You typically do not set this property directly. The ColumnChart control manages this value based on its columnWidthRatio property.

public function ColumnSet()

Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Constructor.

Method Detail
buildSubSeries()method
override protected function buildSubSeries():void

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Processes the Array of sub-series for display, when necessary. This method ensures that all sub-series are added as children of this stacking set, and applies any per-series customization that is necessary (for example, assigning inherited data providers or clustering properties).

This method is also responsible for informing the chart that series have changed and, as a result, implicit series styles must be reassigned. This method is called automatically by the stacking set, when necessary. Instead of calling this method directly, you should consider calling the invalidateSeries() method.

customizeSeries()method 
override protected function customizeSeries(glyph:IChartElement, i:uint):void

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Applies any customization to a sub-series when building the stacking behavior. By default, this method assigns the inherited data providers to the sub-series. Derived classes can override this method to apply further customization.

Parameters

glyph:IChartElement — The chart element to customize.
 
i:uint — The sub-series' position in the series array.

describeData()method 
override public function describeData(dimension:String, requiredFields:uint):Array

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Called by the governing DataTransform to obtain a description of the data represented by this IChartElement. Implementors fill out and return an Array of mx.charts.chartClasses.DataDescription objects to guarantee that their data is correctly accounted for by any axes that are autogenerating values from the displayed data (such as minimum, maximum, interval, and unitSize). Most element types return an Array containing a single DataDescription. Aggregate elements, such as BarSet and ColumnSet, might return multiple DataDescription instances that describe the data displayed by their subelements. When called, the implementor describes the data along the axis indicated by the dimension argument. This function might be called for each axis supported by the containing chart.

Parameters

dimension:String — Determines the axis to get data descriptions of.
 
requiredFields:uint — A bitfield that indicates which values of the DataDescription object the particular axis cares about. Implementors can optimize by only calculating the necessary fields.

Returns
Array — An Array containing the DataDescription instances that describe the data that is displayed.
formatDataTip()method 
override protected function formatDataTip(hd:HitData):String

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Provides custom text for DataTip objects. Stacking sets override the DataTip text of their contained sub-series to display additional information related to the stacking behavior. Derived classes must override this method to define custom DataTip text.

Parameters

hd:HitData — The hitData object in the stack.

Returns
String — The custom text for the DataTip. The default is the empty string. You must override this method to provide a custom DataTip.
