Class: LevelOptions

LevelOptions()

new LevelOptions()

The LevelOptions type holds all options a Level can display or own. The Level(index) method retrieves the level based on its index.

Every option of the LevelOptions type has associated a property of the Level object. For instance, the option:

label {string}, indicates the format to display the level's label
is associated with the property:
Label {string}, indicates the format to display the level's label
which means that the following statements are equivalent:
oLevel.Options = {label: "<%yyyy%>"}
oLevel.SetOptions({label: "<%yyyy%>"})
oLevel.Label = "<%yyyy%>"
oLevel.SetLabel("<%yyyy%>")
where oLevel is an object of Level type

(static) align

The align field aligns the label of the level The exontrol.AlignEnum type supports the following values:
  • exAlignTop (0x00), justifies the object to the top of the rectangle
  • exAlignLeft (0x00), aligns object to the left
  • exAlignCenter (0x01), centers object horizontally in the rectangle
  • exAlignRight (0x02), aligns object to the right
  • exAlignVCenter (0x04), centers object vertically
  • exAlignBottom (0x08), justifies the object to the bottom of the rectangle
Example
null {null}, centers the label for the base level, and aligns to left for any other
2 {number}, right align the label

The count field counts the time-units in the level
Type:
  • number
Example

(static) drawTickLinesFrom :string

(static) label :string

The label field indicates the format to display the level's label. The label field supports alternative HTML labels being separated by "<|>" and values for Count and Unit being separated by "<||>". By alternate HTML label we mean that you can define a list of HTML labels that may be displayed in the chart's header based on the space allocated for the time-unit. In other words, the control chooses automatically the alternate HTML label to be displayed for best fitting in the portion of the chart where the time-unit should be shown.

The label field format is "ALT1[<|>ALT2<|>...[<||>COUNT[<||>UNIT]]]" where

ALT defines a HTML label
COUNT specifies the value for the count field
UNIT field indicates the value for the unit field
(the parts delimited by [] brackets may miss)
