Deprecated Chart Class Methods

This section lists the deprecated Chart class methods in alphabetical order.

Syntax

Refresh()

Description

Note: This method has been deprecated and remains for backward compatibility only. Use instead the SetData method or SetOLData method.

If you make a change to the underlying data of a chart, call the SetData method again to update the chart.

You don’t need to refresh after setting a property or method of the chart itself, such as setting the starting point or changing colors. When a method or property is used, the chart is automatically refreshed.

Parameters

None.

Returns

None.

Example

&MyChart.Refresh();

Syntax

SetDataAnnotations(Record_Name.Field_Name1, ...)

Description

Note: This method has been deprecated and remains for backward compatibility only. Use instead the SetDataLabel and SetDataLabelPosition methods.

Use the SetDataAnnotations method to specify an optional text label that can be associated with each point in the chart.

This method is applicable for scatter and bubble charts only; it is ignored for all other chart types

Parameters

Field or Control

Definition

Record_Name.Field_Name1, ...

Specify the name of the record and one or more fields on that record that contain the annotations for the data items for the chart.

Syntax

SetDataGlyphScale(Record_Name.Field_Name1, ...)

Description

Note: This method has been deprecated and remains for backward compatibility only. Use instead the SetDataZAxis method.

This method affects bubble charts only (%ChartType_2DBubble).
