Colors and States

[Sima Kan]

Hello All!

I've been playing around with the motion chart the past couple of days and have 2 questions. Hoping someone can answer them.

1. While looking at some examples online, I noticed that there are a few which defaulted the color dropdown to column value instead of the "Same Color" that is currently defaulted out of the box. I read up on setting States and passing in the parameters to the state string.

My current state string looks like this:

'{"iconKeySettings":[],"stateVersion":3,"time":"notime","xAxisOption":"_NOTHING", "uniColorForNonSelected":false,"playDuration":15,"iconType":"BUBBLE","sizeOption":"_NOTHING","xZoomedDataMin":null,"xZoomedIn":false,"duration":{"multiplier":1,"timeUnit":"none"},"yZoomedDataMin":null,"xLambda":1,"colorOption":"_UNICOLOR","nonSelectedAlpha":0.4,"dimensions":{"iconDimensions":[]},"yZoomedIn":false,"yAxisOption":"_NOTHING","yLambda":1,"yZoomedDataMax":null,"showTrails":true,"xZoomedDataMax":null};';

But, the chart still defaults to "Same Color" on startup. What option do I set to default the Color dropdown to a column value on load?

2. Is it possible to call a motion chart from another motion chart based on a bubble selected? Any pointers how I can do this?

Thanks in advance,

SimaKan

Look at this property:

"colorOption":"_UNICOLOR"

 "colorOption":"3" -- 3 is the column number to use for colors.

Whenever you select a bubble there is a "select" event  being dispatched from the chart. You can listen to that event and then call what ever code you like over the other motion chart.

Events example: https://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?type=visualization#interaction_using_events

Hello ChartMan!

Thank you for your response. However, when I change the colorOption property, the color dropdown completely disappeared from the chart. Is there any other property that has been set and causing this?

Where I can find information on each property and its usage?

Thanks!

Thanks in advance,

SimaKan

From the chart wrench menu > advanced you can see the "state" string after each interaction with the chart. Please see if you can find your answer there.
