Loads the graphical parameters of a chart object from a Swiff Chart style file (.scs).
void object->LoadStyle( string filename )
If the system fails to open the file identified by filename, the LoadStyle method raises an error.
Style files (.scs) can be easily created with the Swiff Chart Editor. Learn more about Swiff Chart Editor.
The filename can be an absolute path or a simple name. If a simple filename is specified, the style will be searched in the standard styles directory. This directory depends on your installation. As an example, it could be "C:\Program Files\GlobFX Technologies\Swiff Chart Generator\styles".
If no extension is given in the filename string, the standard ".scs" extension
will be added.
Loading chart graphical settings from a style file via the method LoadStyle sets the following parameters in the chart object:
Parameters | Definition |
---|---|
width | An integer value that specifies the width in pixels of the generated Flash movie. This parameter can also be set with the SetWidth method |
height | An integer value that specifies the height in pixels of the generated Flash movie. This parameter can also be set with the SetHeight method |
frame rate | An integer value that specifies the frame rate in frames per second of the generated Flash movie. This parameter can also be set with the SetFrameRate method |
Note: On UNIX Systems only, the style filename (*.scs) is case sensitive
The following PHP code illustrates use of the LoadStyle method.
$chart->SetSeparators(";", true); $chart->SetDataFromQuery(); // Load the style file "C:\myStyle.scs" $chart->LoadStyle("C:\\myStyle.scs"); $chart->ExportAsResponse();
The following PHP code illustrates how to simply use a standard style. (taking into account that Swiff Chart Generator has been installed in the directory C:\Program Files\GlobFX Technologies\Swiff Chart Generator)
$chart->SetSeparators(";", true); $chart->SetDataFromQuery(); // Load the standard style file "C:\Program Files\GlobFX Technologies\Swiff Chart Generator\styles\column\SanFrancisco.scs" $chart->LoadStyle("column\\SanFrancisco"); $chart->ExportAsResponse();
