The rect object allows you to add a rectangle to your charts. The rectangle can be used as a way to provide an extra tooltip (for example) to your users.

Usage example

<script>
    line = new RGraph.Line({
        id: 'cvs',
        data: [4,9,1,3,2,6,5],
        options: {
            spline: true,
            backgroundGridVlines:false,
            backgroundGridBorder:false,
            xaxis: false,
            yaxis: false,
            xaxisLabels: ['Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday','Sunday'],
            marginInner: 5,
            tickmarksStyle: 'endcircle',
            tickmarksSize: 10,
            colors: ['black'],
            textSize: 16
        }
    }).draw();


    new RGraph.Drawing.Rect({
        id: 'cvs',
        x: 35,
        y: line.canvas.height - 35 - 50,
        width: 50,
        height: 50,
        options: {
            colorsStroke: 'transparent',
            colorsFill: 'rgba(255,0,0,0.7)',
            shadow: true,
            shadowColor: '#aaa',
            shadowBlur: 2,
            shadowOffsetx: 2,
            shadowOffsety: 2,
            tooltips: ['<b>Example</b><br />This is an example tooltip'],
            highlightStroke: 'transparent'
        }
    }).draw();
</script>

Methods

<script>
    rect.canvas.onclick = function (e)
    {
        RGraph.redraw();
    
        var canvas = e.target,
            obj    = canvas.__object__,
            shape  = obj.getShape(e);

        if (shape) {            
            // Highlight the rectangle.
            obj.path(
                'lw 10 b r % % % % s black f rgba(255,0,0,0.25)',
                shape.x, shape.y, shape.width, shape.height
            );
        }
    }
</script>

This method can be used to set an event listener on an object. It operates similarly to the jquery on function. The first argument is the event that you wish to attach to and the second is the handler function. For example:

obj.on('draw', function (obj)
{
    // Put your event code here
});

The function is useful if you use method chaining when creating your charts:

obj = new RGraph.Drawing.Rect({
        id: 'cvs',
         x: 50,
         y: 50,
     width: 100,
    height: 100,
    options: {
    }

}).on('draw', function (obj)
{
    // Put your draw event code here

}).on('click', function (e, shape)
{
    // Handle the click event

}).draw();

The exec function is documented here.
