Table 1. Parameters
ParameterDescription
Controlled ModeIf you turn on the switch, data is not requested when a widget is initialized. Data requests are triggered only based on callback IDs or the method configured in Blueprint Editor. If you turn off the switch, data requests are automatically triggered. By default, the switch is turned off.
Auto Data RequestAfter you select the Auto Data Request check box, you can enable dynamic polling, and manually specify the polling interval. If you do not select this check box, data is not automatically requested. You must manually refresh the page to request data or use Blueprint Editor or callback ID events to trigger data requests.
Data SourceIn the right-side panel of Canvas Editor, click the Data tab. Click Set next to Static Data. In the Configure Datasource panel, select a data source from the Data Source Type drop-down list. Enter code for data query in the code editor, click Preview Data Response to preview the response of the data source, and then view the response. For more information, see Configure asset data.
Data FilterIf you select the Data Filter check box, you can convert the data structure, filter data, and perform simple calculations. If you click the plus sign (+) next to Add Filter, you can configure the script for the data filter in the editor that appears. For more information, see Use the data filter.
Data Response ResultThe response to a data request. If the data source changes, you can click the Refresh icon icon next to Data Response Result to view the data response in real time.

Interaction

Select the Enable check box to enable interactions between widgets. When a column of the ladder column chart is clicked, a data request is triggered, a callback value is thrown, and data of different columns is dynamically loaded. By default, the x, y, and s values are returned. For more information, see Configure callback IDs.

Configure interactions in Blueprint Editor

  1. In Canvas Editor, right-click a widget in the Layer panel and select Add to Blueprint Editor.

  2. Click the 蓝图图标icon in the upper-left corner.

  3. In Blueprint Editor, click the Ladder column chart widget in the Added Nodes pane. You can view the configuration parameters of the Ladder column chart in Blueprint Editor.

    • Event

      Event

      Description

      When the ladder column chart interface request completes

      The event is triggered with the processed JSON data after a data interface request is responded and processed by a filter. For specific data, see Data.

      When a data item is clicked

      The event that is raised when a column of the ladder column chart is clicked, along with the data item corresponding to that column.

    • Policy Action

      Policy Action

      Description

      Request Ladder column chart Interface

      This action is performed to request the server data again. The data sent by an upstream data processing node or layer node is used as a parameter. For example, if the ladder column chart is configured with the API data source as http://api.test and the data passed to the request ladder column chart interface as { id: '1'}, the final request interface is http://api.test?id=1.

      Import Ladder column chart Interface

      After data of a widget is processed in accordance with its drawing format, the widget is imported for redrawing. You do not need to request server data again. For specific data, see Data.

      Highlight

      Highlight the element corresponding to the data item. Example:

      {
        data: {
          x: 'Shanghai' // You can list multiple highlight conditions, similar to filter. 
        },
        options: {
          style: {
            fill: 'red'
          },
          selectMode: 'single',
          cancelHighlightFirst: true
        }
      }

      Unhighlight

      Cancels the highlighting of the element corresponding to the data item. Example:

      {
        data: {
          x: 'Shanghai'
        },
        options: {
          mode: 'single' // If the value is single, only one highlight is canceled when multiple data items are hit. If the value is multiple, all highlights are canceled when multiple data items are hit. 
        }
      }

      Update component configurations

      Style configurations of widgets are dynamically updated. Before this action is executed, you must click the widget in Canvas Editor, click the Settings tab in the right-side panel, and click Copy Configurations to... to obtain widget configurations. After that, change the style field for the data processing node in Blueprint Editor.
