Syntax: How to Add Properties and Methods for Chart Titles

The selections in this dialog add the following methods to the code that defines this chart:

Editor Field

Method

Chart Title

 
setTextString (getTitle(),"Title String");

Chart Subtitle

 
setTextString (getSubtitle(),"Subtitle String ");

Chart Footnote

 
setTextString (getFootnote (),"Footnote String ");

O1 Axis Title

 
setTextString (getO1AxisTitle(),"O1 Axis Title");

O2 Axis Title (where applicable)

 
setTextString (getO2AxisTitle(),"O2 Axis Title");

X1 Axis Title (where applicable)

 
setTextString (getX1AxisTitle(),"X1 Axis Title");

Y1 Axis Title

 
setTextString (getY1AxisTitle(),"Y1 Axis Title");

Y2 Axis Title

 
setTextString (getY2AxisTitle(),"Y2 Axis Title");

Note: If the default display attribute of a chart title is false, the setDisplay() method is added to the code to enable the display of the defined title object.

Example: 

setDisplay(getO2Title(),true);
setDisplay(getO2Title(), false);

If you clear a title string, the setDisplay method will be added to the code to disable display of the cleared text object.

Example: 

setDisplay(getO2Title(), false);
