Quick Reference...

Attribute Name
PatternBySet
Type Integer
Summary: Sets the pattern for each set.

Description:


The PatternBySet property has three uses:

  • To set a pattern for solid fills. PatternBySet serves this purpose when you're working with pie, area, bar, and bubble graphs.
  • To set a line pattern for patterned lines. PatternBySet serves this purpose when the PatternedLines property is set to on and you're working with line, lin/log, log/lin, log/log, and polar graphs, or with scatter graphs with curve fitting.
  • To set a line width (in pixels) for thick lines. PatternBySet serves this purpose when the ThickLines property is set to on and you're working with line, lin/log, log/lin, log/log, and polar graphs, or with scatter graphs with curve fitting.

Note The PatternedLines and ThickLines properties are mutually exclusive. When one is on, the other is always off.

Pie charts, bubble graphs, based on a single data set need one PatternBySet value for each data point. All other graph types need one PatternBySet value for each data set.

Settings vary according to context:

Fill pattern
Valid settings are integers from 0 to 7 and from 16 to 31. The setting selects one of 24 fill patterns available.

Line pattern
Valid settings are integers from 0 to 5. The setting selects one of six line patterns available, including an "invisible" line (setting 5).

Line thickness
Valid settings are integers from 1 to 5. The setting is the line width in pixels.


Remarks:

None.

Example...

<CFXGRAPHICSSERVER ... PatternBySet = "0,1,4" ... >

The exact effect of this depends on the context of the attribute (see above).
