Step Chart

The Step Chart displays data in a chart on a Coach with the option to add drill down trees for presenting additional data sets.

Like almost all SPARK controls, you can trigger events that are fired when the user interacts with the control (see the Event and Methods sections below and the Event Handling article for more information).

The Step Chart must be populated through an AJAX service.

Events

With the Step Chart, there are 4 types of event handlers:

  • On Load When the page loads
  • On Refreshed When the Chart is refreshed
  • On Click When the Chart is clicked
  • On Menu Action When there is a menu action

You can use JavaScript logic to affect the effects of the control, depending on the event. More information on using these controls can be found in the Event Handling article.

Methods
