Reply To: Pivot/grouping + charting question

[pkz]

Hi,

 

I understand the parameters of the smartChart object/class but what I wanted to know was if it was possible to dynamically assign the type. Here is an example of what I would like to do:

 

function process_selection(chart_type){

// assume this function gets the grid’s selection and processes the data so that it can be used for charting – i.e the code inside the chart’s onclick in your codepen.

//how can I use the chart_type variable here to change the properties of the already defined window.Smart("#pivot-chart",...) ? (since this is what we are using to draw on)

//the obvious solution is to re-define the entire smart object with the new chart type – but this seems suboptimal – am I understanding the concept of smart objects correctly?

}

With this function, I can assign to onClick on different chart types:

process_selection('line')

process_selection('bar')

etc.,
