The Y-axis object

• Usage example
• Properties
• Methods

The y-axis object allows you to have extra Y axes in your chart. Formerly this was an independent function but it's now been converted to a drawing api object. This means that it's easier to use and has added interactivity options - such as mousemove and click events and tooltips.

Usage example

<script>
    bar = new RGraph.Bar({
        id: 'cvs',
        data: [[1,2,8],[3,8,7],[9,6,5],[3,5,8],[5,6,6],[1,5,8],[4,8,6]],
        options: {
            backgroundGridVlines: false,
            backgroundGridBorder: false,
            marginInner: 5,
            xaxis: false,
            yaxis: false,
            xaxisLabels: ['Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep'],
            yaxisScale: false,
            marginLeft: 195,
            marginTop: 35,
            colors: [
                'Gradient(green:#0c0)',
                'Gradient(red:#c00)',
                'Gradient(blue:#00c)'
            ],
            tooltips: [
                'James','Jenna','Karl',
                'James','Jenna','Karl',
                'James','Jenna','Karl',

            keyPosition: 'margin',
            marginInner: 10,
            textSize: 16
        }
    }).wave();

            tooltips: 'Moisture measured by the MET office',
            tooltipsCss: {
                backgroundColor: 'black',
                color: 'white'
            }
        }
    }).draw();

    new RGraph.Drawing.YAxis({
        id: 'cvs',
        x: bar.marginLeft - 70,
        options: {
            marginTop: 35,
            yaxisScaleMax: bar.scale2.max * 5,

            tooltipsCss: {
                backgroundColor: 'black',
                color: 'white'
            }
        }
    }).draw();
    
    new RGraph.Drawing.YAxis({
        id: 'cvs',
        x: bar.marginLeft - 140,
        options: {
            marginTop: 35,
            yaxisScaleMax: bar.scale2.max,
            yaxisScaleDecimals: 1,

Methods

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

        if (shape) {            
            // Highlight the main body of the Background object.
            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.YAxis({
    id: 'cvs',
    x: 25,
    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.
