Class Methods

PolarAxis ::
HideTicks($aFlg, $aAngleFlg)
HIde ticks marks

Argument | Default | Description
--- | --- | ---
$aFlg | true | Hide radius tick marks
$aAngleFlg | true | Hide angle tick marks

Description:
HIde ticks marks

Example:

// Hide just the angle tick marks
$polargraph->axis->HideTicks(false,true);

PolarAxis ::
SetAngleFont($aFontFam, $aFontStyle, $aFontSize)
Set font for angles

Argument | Default | Description
--- | --- | ---
$aFontFam |  | Font family
$aFontStyle | FS_NORMAL | Font style
$aFontSize | 10 | Font size

Description:
Set font for angle labels on the polar graph.

Example:

$polargraph->axis->SetAngleFont(FF_ARIAL,FS_NORMAL,8);

PolarAxis ::
SetAngleStep($aStep)
Set angle step

Argument | Default | Description
--- | --- | ---
$aStep |  | Step in degrees

Description:
Specify the angle step, in degrees, between the angle markers.

Example:

// Set 20 degrees between each marker
$polargraph->axis->SetAngleStep(20);

PolarAxis ::
SetColor($aColor, $aRadColor, $aAngleColor)
Specify axis and label colors

Argument | Default | Description
--- | --- | ---
$aColor |  | Color for radius axis
$aRadColor | '' | Color for radius labels
$aAngleColor | '' | Color for angle labels

Description:
Specify axis and label colors.

Example:

$polargraph->axis->SetColor('black','navy','darkred');

PolarAxis ::
SetGridColor($aMajorColor, $aMinorColor, $aAngleColor)
Set colors for the various grids

Argument | Default | Description
--- | --- | ---
$aMajorColor |  | Major radius grid color
$aMinorColor | '' | Minor radius grid color
$aAngleColor | '' | Angle grid color

Description:
Set colors for the various grids

Example:

// Set "Soft" colors for the grid
$polargraph->axis->SetGridColor('lightgray','lightgray','lightgray');

PolarAxis ::
SetTickColors($aRadColor, $aAngleColor)
Specify color for axis tick marks

Argument | Default | Description
--- | --- | ---
$aRadColor |  | Radius axis colors
$aAngleColor | '' | Angle axis colors

Description:
Specify color for axis tick marks

Example:

ShowAngleDegreeMark($aFlg)
Add a degree mark after each angel label

Argument | Default | Description
--- | --- | ---
$aFlg | true | True=Add mark

Description:
Add a degree mark after each angel label ( a small sperscripted 'o' ). This is enabled by default.

Example:

$polargraph->axis->ShowAngleDegreeMark(true);

PolarAxis ::
ShowAngleLabel($aFlg)
Show angle labels

Argument | Default | Description
--- | --- | ---
$aFlg | true | True=show labels

Description:
Show angle labels. This is on by default.

Example:

$polargraph->axis->ShowAngleLabel();

PolarAxis ::
ShowGrid($aMajor, $aMinor, $aAngle)
Determine what grid lines should be visible

Argument | Default | Description
--- | --- | ---
$aMajor | true | Show major radius grid lines
$aMinor | false | Show minor radius grid lines
$aAngle | true | Show angle grid lines

Description:
Determine what grid lines should be visible.

Example:

// Just display major radius grid line and angles
$polargraph->axis->ShowGrid(true,false,true);
