Can marker size be changed?
posted

Hi,

For example, if markerType="triangle" used, is it possible to change the size of the triangle?

Thanks,

    Hello, cgao

    I developed a sample for you which draws scatter series with triangle markers with settings for triangle size and color. It is based on custom marker as Nikifor suggested earlier. Please, find the sample attached. Just to be clear, I'll explain the most important parts:

     1. Setting custom marker template. The markerTemplate option is configured with a marker template object.

    1. series: [{
    2.     ...
    3.     markerTemplate: new TriangleMarker(15, "lightblue", "black", 1)
    4.     ...
    5. }],

     

    2. Basic structure of the custom marker object. The measure and render methods are called by the chart widget to draw a custom marker. The extent parameter defines how large the triangle will be.

    1. function TriangleMarker(extent, fillBrush, outlineBrush, outlineThickness) {
    2.     this.measure = function (measureInfo) {
    3.                 
    4.     };
    5.     this.render = function (renderInfo) {
    6.                 
    7.     }
    8. }


    3. Triangle drawing logic. The logic uses the marker coordinates as a center of a circle and draws a unilateral triangle in this circle.

    1. this.render = function (renderInfo) {
    2.     var context = renderInfo.context;
    3.     //  Marker center
    4.     var X = renderInfo.xPosition;
    5.     var Y = renderInfo.yPosition;
    6.  
    7.     //  Helper variables for triangle plot
    8.     var startX, vertexX, startY, vertexY;
    9.  
    10.     context.beginPath();
    11.     //  Calcualte and draw Vertex 1 at 60 degress
    12.     //  angle in radians = angle in degrees * Pi / 180
    13.     vertexX = startX = X + Math.cos(90 * Math.PI / 180) * extent;
    14.     vertexY = startY = Y + Math.sin(90 * Math.PI / 180) * extent;
    15.  
    16.     context.moveTo(vertexX, vertexY);
    17.  
    18.     //  Calcualte and draw Vertex 2 at 180 degress
    19.     vertexX = X + Math.cos(210 * Math.PI / 180) * extent;
    20.     vertexY = Y + Math.sin(210 * Math.PI / 180) * extent;
    21.  
    22.     context.lineTo(vertexX, vertexY);
    23.  
    24.     //  Calcualte and draw Vertex 3 at 300 degress
    25.     vertexX = X + Math.cos(330 * Math.PI / 180) * extent;
    26.     vertexY = Y + Math.sin(330 * Math.PI / 180) * extent;
    27.  
    28.     context.lineTo(vertexX, vertexY);
    29.     context.lineTo(startX, startY);
    30.  
    31.     //  Set stroke and fill
    32.     context.fillStyle = fillBrush;
    33.     context.fill();
    34.  
    35.     context.lineWidth = outlineThickness;
    36.     context.strokeStyle = outlineBrush;
    37.     context.stroke();
    38. }


    I hope this can provide you the required functionality. Post here if you need some additional questions.

    Cheers, Lazar

    Hello Chao,

    You can create a custom marker in order to achieve this. It is far more complex. A good explanation is discussed in the following forum thread - http://www.infragistics.com/community/forums/t/71724.aspx

     

    Currently we do not offer this functionality. I have logged a feature request with id PI12080043. I have sent this product idea directly to our product management team.  Our product team chooses new product ideas for development based on popular feedback from our customer base.  Infragistics continues to monitor application development for all of our products, so as trends appear in requested features, we can plan accordingly.

     

    We value your input, and our philosophy is to enhance our toolset based on customer feedback.  If your feature is chosen for development, you will be notified at that time.
