A type of axis that displays items in categories. This axis is generally used to display categorical information like names of items, month names, quarters, etc. but no quantitative values. For that other type of information Numeric axis are more suitable.
As with other axis you can set the position of the axis and its title. For example:
var chart = new Ext.chart.CartesianChart({
animate: true,
innerPadding: {
left: 40,
right: 40
},
store: {
fields: ['name', 'data1', 'data2', 'data3', 'data4', 'data5'],
data: [
{'name':'metric one', 'data1':10, 'data2':12, 'data3':14, 'data4':8, 'data5':13},
{'name':'metric two', 'data1':7, 'data2':8, 'data3':16, 'data4':10, 'data5':3},
{'name':'metric three', 'data1':5, 'data2':2, 'data3':14, 'data4':12, 'data5':7},
{'name':'metric four', 'data1':2, 'data2':14, 'data3':6, 'data4':1, 'data5':23},
{'name':'metric five', 'data1':27, 'data2':38, 'data3':36, 'data4':13, 'data5':33}
]
},
axes: [{
type: 'category',
position: 'bottom',
fields: ['name'],
title: {
text: 'Sample Values',
fontSize: 15
}
}],
series: [{
type: 'area',
subStyle: {
fill: ['blue', 'green', 'red']
},
xField: 'name',
yField: ['data1', 'data2', 'data3']
}]
});
Ext.Viewport.setLayout('fit');
Ext.Viewport.add(chart);
In this example with set the category axis to the bottom of the surface, bound the axis to
the name property and set as title "Sample Values".
The event name to bubble, or an Array of event names.
The event name to bubble, or an Array of event names.
Center of the polar axis. WARNING: Meant to be set automatically by chart. Do not set it manually.
An array containing the names of the record fields which should be mapped along the axis. This is optional if the binding between series and fields is clear.
Defaults to: []
The grid configuration object for the Axis style. Can contain stroke or fill attributes.
Also may contain an odd or even property in which you only style things on odd or even rows.
For example:
grid {
odd: {
stroke: '#555'
},
even: {
stroke: '#ccc'
}
}
Defaults to: false
Given a minimum and maximum bound for the series to be rendered (that can be obtained
automatically or by manually setting minimum and maximum) tick marks will be added
on each increment from the minimum value to the maximum one.
Defaults to: 0.5
The label configuration object for the Axis. This object may include style attributes
like spacing, padding, font that receives a string or number and
returns a new string with the modified values.
For more supported values, see the configurations for Ext.chart.label.Label.
Defaults to: {x: 0, y: 0, textBaseline: 'middle', textAlign: 'center', fontSize: 12, fontFamily: 'Helvetica'}
The axis layout config. See Ext.chart.axis.layout.Layout

Defaults to: 0
A config object containing one or more event handlers to be added to this object during initialization. This
should be a valid listeners config object as specified in the addListener example for attaching
multiple handlers at once.
See the Event guide for more
Note: It is bad practice to specify a listener's config when you are defining a class using Ext.define().
Instead, only specify listeners when you are instantiating your class with Ext.create().
If minimum and maximum are specified it forces the number of major ticks to the specified value.
Defaults to: false
The maximum value drawn by the axis. If not set explicitly, the axis maximum will be calculated automatically.
The minimum value drawn by the axis. If not set explicitly, the axis minimum will be calculated automatically.
The number of small ticks between two major ticks.
Defaults to: 0
Indicates that the axis needs high precision surface implementation. See Ext.draw.engine.Canvas.highPrecision
Defaults to: false
Where to set the axis. Available options are left, bottom, right, top, radial and angular.
Defaults to: 'bottom'
Radius of the polar axis. WARNING: Meant to be set automatically by chart. Do not set it manually.
Allows direct customisation of rendered axis sprites.
The label.
The layout configuration used by the axis.
The last label.
The label to display.
Rotation of the polar axis. WARNING: Meant to be set automatically by chart. Do not set it manually.
The segmenter config. See Ext.chart.axis.segmenter.Segmenter
Defaults to: 'names'
Overrides: Ext.chart.axis.Axis.segmenter
The style for the axis line and ticks. Refer to the Ext.chart.axis.sprite.Axis
The title for the Axis. If given a String, the text style of the title sprite will be set, otherwise the style will be set.
Defaults to: {fontSize: 18, fontFamily: 'Helvetica'}
The margin around the axis title. Unlike CSS where the margin is added on all 4
sides of an element, the titleMargin is the total space that is added horizontally
for a vertical title and vertically for an horizontal title, with half the titleMargin
being added on either side.
Defaults to: 4
full data range of the axis. Should not be set directly, clear it to null and use
getRange to update.
Defaults to: {id: 'observable', hooks: {destroy: 'destroy'}}
Overrides: Ext.mixin.Sortable.mixinConfig
Defaults to: 'component'
Overrides: Ext.mixin.Observable.observableType
Get the reference to the current class from which this object was instantiated. Unlike statics,
this.self is scope-dependent and it's meant to be used for dynamic inheritance. See statics
for a detailed comparison
Ext.define('My.Cat', {
statics: {
speciesName: 'Cat' // My.Cat.speciesName = 'Cat'
},
constructor: function() {
alert(this.self.speciesName); // dependent on 'this'
},
clone: function() {
return new this.self();
}
});
Ext.define('My.SnowLeopard', {
extend: 'My.Cat',
statics: {
speciesName: 'Snow Leopard' // My.SnowLeopard.speciesName = 'Snow Leopard'
}
});
var cat = new My.Cat(); // alerts 'Cat'
var snowLeopard = new My.SnowLeopard(); // alerts 'Snow Leopard'
var clone = snowLeopard.clone();
alert(Ext.getClassName(clone)); // alerts 'My.SnowLeopard'
Appends an after-event handler.
Same as addListener with order set to 'after'.
The name of the event to listen for.
The method the event invokes.
The scope for fn.
An object containing handler configuration.
Appends a before-event handler. Returning false from the handler will stop the event.
Same as addListener with order set to 'before'.
The name of the event to listen for.
The method the event invokes.
The scope for fn.
An object containing handler configuration.
Adds the specified events to the list of events which this Observable may fire.
This method has been deprecated since 2.0
It's no longer needed to add events before firing.
Appends an event handler to this object. You can review the available handlers by looking at the 'events' section of the documentation for the component you are working with.
Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners:
A delayed, one-time listener:
container.addListener('tap', this.handleTap, this, {
single: true,
delay: 100
});
The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object containing properties which specify multiple events. For example:
container.addListener({
tap : this.onTap,
swipe: this.onSwipe,
scope: this // Important. Ensure "this" is correct during handler execution
});
One can also specify options for each event handler separately:
container.addListener({
tap : { fn: this.onTap, scope: this, single: true },
swipe: { fn: button.onSwipe, scope: button }
});
See the Events Guide for more.
The name of the event to listen for. May also be an object who's property names are event names.
The method the event invokes. Will be called with arguments given to
fireEvent plus the options parameter described below.
The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If
omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event.
An object containing handler configuration.
This object may contain any of the following properties:
The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted, defaults to the object
which fired the event.
The number of milliseconds to delay the invocation of the handler after the event fires.
true to add a handler to handle just the next firing of the event, and then remove itself.
The order of when the listener should be added into the listener queue.
If you set an order of before and the event you are listening to is preventable, you can return false and it will stop the event.
Available options are before, current and after.
Defaults to: current
Causes the handler to be delayed by the specified number of milliseconds. If the event fires again within that time, the original handler is not invoked, but the new handler is scheduled in its place.
Allows you to add a listener onto a element of this component using the elements reference.
Ext.create('Ext.Component', {
listeners: {
element: 'element',
tap: function() {
alert('element tap!');
}
}
});
All components have the element reference, which is the outer most element of the component. Ext.Container also has the
innerElement element which contains all children. In most cases element is adequate.
Uses Ext.ComponentQuery to delegate events to a specified query selector within this item.
// Create a container with a two children; a button and a toolbar
var container = Ext.create('Ext.Container', {
items: [
{
xtype: 'toolbar',
docked: 'top',
title: 'My Toolbar'
},
{
xtype: 'button',
text: 'My Button'
}
]
});
container.addListener({
// Ext.Buttons have an xtype of 'button', so we use that are a selector for our delegate
delegate: 'button',
tap: function() {
alert('Button tapped!');
}
});
The order of when the listener should be added into the listener queue.
Possible values are before, current and after.
Defaults to: 'current'
Adds listeners to any Observable object (or Element) which are automatically removed when this Component is destroyed.
This method has been deprecated since 2.0
All listeners are now automatically managed where necessary. Simply use addListener.
The item to which to add a listener/listeners.
The event name, or an object containing event name properties.
If the eventName parameter was an event name, this is the handler function.
If the eventName parameter was an event name, this is the scope in which
the handler function is executed.
If the eventName parameter was an event name, this is the
addListener options.
Call the original method that was previously overridden with override,
This method is deprecated as callParent does the same thing.
Ext.define('My.Cat', {
constructor: function() {
alert("I'm a cat!");
}
});
My.Cat.override({
constructor: function() {
alert("I'm going to be a cat!");
var instance = this.callOverridden();
alert("Meeeeoooowwww");
return instance;
}
});
var kitty = new My.Cat(); // alerts "I'm going to be a cat!"
// alerts "I'm a cat!"
// alerts "Meeeeoooowwww"
The arguments, either an array or the arguments object
from the current method, for example: this.callOverridden(arguments)
Returns the result of calling the overridden method
Call the "parent" method of the current method. That is the method previously overridden by derivation or by an override (see Ext.define).
Ext.define('My.Base', {
constructor: function (x) {
this.x = x;
},
statics: {
method: function (x) {
return x;
}
}
});
Ext.define('My.Derived', {
extend: 'My.Base',
constructor: function () {
this.callParent([21]);
}
});
var obj = new My.Derived();
alert(obj.x); // alerts 21
This can be used with an override as follows:
Ext.define('My.DerivedOverride', {
override: 'My.Derived',
constructor: function (x) {
this.callParent([x*2]); // calls original My.Derived constructor
}
});
var obj = new My.Derived();
alert(obj.x); // now alerts 42
This also works with static methods.
Ext.define('My.Derived2', {
extend: 'My.Base',
statics: {
method: function (x) {
return this.callParent([x*2]); // calls My.Base.method
}
}
});
alert(My.Base.method(10)); // alerts 10
alert(My.Derived2.method(10)); // alerts 20
Lastly, it also works with overridden static methods.
Ext.define('My.Derived2Override', {
override: 'My.Derived2',
statics: {
method: function (x) {
return this.callParent([x*2]); // calls My.Derived2.method
}
}
});
alert(My.Derived2.method(10)); // now alerts 40
To override a method and replace it and also call the superclass method, use callSuper. This is often done to patch a method to fix a bug.
The arguments, either an array or the arguments object
from the current method, for example: this.callParent(arguments)
Returns the result of calling the parent method
This method is used by an override to call the superclass method but bypass any overridden method. This is often done to "patch" a method that contains a bug but for whatever reason cannot be fixed directly.
Consider:
Ext.define('Ext.some.Class', {
method: function () {
console.log('Good');
}
});
Ext.define('Ext.some.DerivedClass', {
method: function () {
console.log('Bad');
// ... logic but with a bug ...
this.callParent();
}
});
To patch the bug in DerivedClass.method, the typical solution is to create an
override:
Ext.define('App.paches.DerivedClass', {
override: 'Ext.some.DerivedClass',
method: function () {
console.log('Fixed');
// ... logic but with bug fixed ...
this.callSuper();
}
});
The patch method cannot use callParent to call the superclass method since
that would call the overridden method containing the bug. In other words, the
above patch would only produce "Fixed" then "Good" in the console log, whereas,
using callParent would produce "Fixed" then "Bad" then "Good".
The arguments, either an array or the arguments object
from the current method, for example: this.callSuper(arguments)
Returns the result of calling the superclass method
Fires the specified event with the passed parameters and execute a function (action)
at the end if there are no listeners that return false.
The name of the event to fire.
Arguments to pass to handers.
Action.
Scope of fn.
Fires the specified event with the passed parameters (minus the event name, plus the options object passed
to addListener).
The first argument is the name of the event. Every other argument passed will be available when you listen for the event.
Firstly, we set up a listener for our new event.
this.on('myevent', function(arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, options, e) {
console.log(arg1); // true
console.log(arg2); // 2
console.log(arg3); // { test: 'foo' }
console.log(arg4); // 14
console.log(options); // the options added when adding the listener
console.log(e); // the event object with information about the event
});
And then we can fire off the event.
this.fireEvent('myevent', true, 2, { test: 'foo' }, 14);
An event may be set to bubble up an Observable parent hierarchy by calling enableBubble.
The name of the event to fire.
Variable number of parameters are passed to handlers.
Returns false if any of the handlers return false.
Mapping data value into coordinate.
Retrieves the id of this component. Will autogenerate an id if one has not already been set.
id

Get the surface for drawing the series sprites
Initialize configuration for this class. a typical example:
Ext.define('My.awesome.Class', {
// The default config
config: {
name: 'Awesome',
isAwesome: true
},
constructor: function(config) {
this.initConfig(config);
}
});
var awesome = new My.awesome.Class({
name: 'Super Awesome'
});
alert(awesome.getName()); // 'Super Awesome'
