If category is selected, the chart displays values by category. If count is selected, the chart displays feature counts by category. If field is selected, the chart displays attribute values as charts.

      • isAsc— Boolean. Determines whether it is sorted by ascending order.
      • field—The sorted field. It is valid only when the display mode is feature or when the display mode is category and isLabelAxis is false.
    • maxLabels—Number. The number of labels to render in the chart. This value can be empty when the chart is not a pie chart. When it is empty, there are no restrictions. When the chart is not a pie chart, the maximum value is 3000; otherwise the maximum value is 100.
    • nullValue—Boolean. In the calculation of the maximum, minimum, and average, it determines whether to calculate null as 0. This parameter is valid only in category and field modes.
    • useLayerSymbology—Boolean. Determines whether to render the chart with the color of the layer rendering symbol on the map. This parameter is valid only if the layer is selected from the current map. For feature mode, the parameter is valid. For category and count modes, only ClassBreakRenderer and UniqueValueRenderer are supported when the category field is set to the same field that the layer is rendered. For field mode, this parameter is invalid.
    • backgroundColor—String. The background color of the chart.
    • colors—String. The array of colors used to render the chart.
    • showLegend—Boolean. Determines whether to display the legend.
    • legendTextColor—String. The color of the legend label.
    • showHorizontalAxis—Boolean. Determines whether to display the horizontal axis. This attribute exists when the type is column, bar, or line.
    • horizontalAxisTextColor—String. The color of the horizontal axis text. This attribute exists when the type is column, bar, or line.
    • showVerticalAxis—Boolean. Determines whether to display the vertical axis. This attribute exists when the type is column, bar, or line.
    • verticalAxisTextColor—String. The color of the vertical axis text. This attribute exists when the type is column, bar, or line.
    • showDataLabel—Boolean. Determines whether to display the data label. This attribute exists only when the type is pie.
    • dataLabelColor—String. The color of the data label. This attribute exists only when the type is pie.

dataSource

Object.

  • dataSourceType—String. The type of data source. Valid values are DATA_SOURCE_FROM_FRAMEWORK and DATA_SOURCE_FEATURE_LAYER_FROM_MAP.
  • name—String. The name of the data source.
  • layerId—String. The ID of the selected layer.
  • useSelection—Boolean. This is a filter option. If true, use the selected features only. If false, use all of the features in the data source.
  • filterByExtent—Boolean. This is a filter option. If true, use the features in the current map extent only.

Default value declaration

All the default values are set in templates.json (path: ~/Infographic/settings/templates.json). Only the background color and font color will set the corresponding color based on different themes (when no specific settings are in templates.json).

Background color

  • Dashboard Theme: #222222.
  • Dart Theme: #4c4c4c.
  • Other themes: No default.
