Event
Event
Description
When the horizontal basic bar chart interface request is completed
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

Policy Action
Policy Action
Description
Request horizontal bar 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 API data source is set to
http://api.testfor a horizontal column chart and the data that is transferred to the Request Horizontal Column Chart API is set to{ id: '1'}, the final request interface ishttp://api.test?id=1.Import a horizontal column chart
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. } }Clear components
Clear component data. No parameters are required.
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.
