Pens Array Object

Name Description Property Type
  An array of pens to display on the graph Array
name The name of the pen to be displayed in the legend on the chart String
visible Determines if the pen is visible on the chart or not Boolean
type The chart type desired. Options are Line, Scatter, Column, Mountain and Spline String
interpolationPoints Used with the Spline and MountainSpline type curves to set the interpolation filter - a higher value results in a smoother waveform - only visible when MountainSpline or Spline curves are selected Integer
axis Defines the axes (x and y) for the selected pen Object
data Defines where the data for the pen is coming from Object
stroke Configuration of the line on the chart corresponding to a specific pen Object
Fill.Gradient

Fill and gradient properties will not appear in the Ignition Designer for line and spline type pens.

Name Description Property Type
startPoint.x/y The starting point of the gradient. This value is relative to the screen rather than the chart - (0,0) is the top left of the screen, and (1,1) is the bottom right. Float
endPoint.x/y The end point of the gradient. This value is relative to the screen rather than the chart - (0,0) is the top left of the screen, and (1,1) is the bottom right. Float
gradientStops.i.offset The location, relative to the screen, of this gradient stop's color. Any number of gradient stops and their corresponding offsets and colors can be added to make the gradient more complex. Gradient stops must be added in the correct order, so that each offset is greater than the one after it. Float
Type
Name Description Property Type
Line A series of data points connected by line segments String

Scatter

Shows large quantities of data along a horizontal and vertical axis and presents a correlation between two variables String
Column A type of graph that uses vertical bars or columns to represent the values of the data String
Mountain Essentially the same as a line chart with the area filled in under the curve String
MountainSpline A spline chart with the area under the curve filled in String
Spline A line chart where the data points are connected using spline interpolation String
Axis
Name Description Property Type
x Sets the pen x axis to the named x axis in the axes array object String

y

Sets the pen y axis to the named y axis in the axes array object String
Data
Name Description Property Type
name The name for where the data for the pen is coming from - corresponds to the name member of the Data array object String
xColumnName The column from the dataset in the Data array that is to be used for the X axis String
yColumnName The column from the dataset in the Data array that is to be used for the Y axis String
Stroke
Name Description Property Type
color The color applied to the line stroke String
dashArray The spacing between dashes of the line stroke Array
opacity The opacity to apply to the line stroke (numeric value) Integer
width The width to apply to the line stroke (numeric value) Integer

ADD SCREENSHOT OF PENS????

When configuring pens, it is important to ensure that the pen axes correspond to the specific x and y axes that are configured in the props section (see below).
