Implements | IAxisRenderer |
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Product Version: | Flex 3 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
AxisRenderer objects inherit some of their visual properties
from the enclosing chart object.
The text format of the labels and title defaults
to the CSS text properties of the renderer.
You can control the formatting of the axis title separately
by specifying a axisTitleStyleName
,
either on the AxisRenderer or on the enclosing chart.
When positioning and sizing labels, the AxisRenderer takes a minimum amount of the chart's available space. If labels take too much space, then the AxisRenderer scales them. However, the AxisRenderer does not scale the labels to too small of a point size. To increase readability, the AxisRenderer chooses one of the following layout methods based on the one that requires the least scaling:
- Render the labels horizontally end to end.
- Stagger the labels horizontally in two rows.
- Rotate the labels to fit them in the space provided. The AxisRenderer rotates the labels to the minimum angle needed to prevent them from overlapping. The maximum angle is 90 degrees.
The AxisRenderer adjusts the boundaries of the chart's data area to ensure that it can draw the labels without pushing outside of the boundaries.

adjustGutters | () | method |
public function adjustGutters(workingGutters:Rectangle, adjustable:Object):Rectangle
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Product Version: | Flex 3 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Adjusts its layout to accomodate the gutters passed in. This method is called by the enclosing chart to determine the size of the gutters and the corresponding data area. This method provides the AxisRenderer with an opportunity to calculate layout based on the new gutters, and to adjust them if necessary. If a given gutter is adjustable, an axis renderer can optionally adjust the gutters inward (make the gutter larger) but not outward (make the gutter smaller).
Parameters
workingGutters:Rectangle — Defines the gutters to adjust.
| |
adjustable:Object — Consists of four Boolean properties
(left=true/false, top=true/false, right=true/false,
and bottom=true/false) that indicate whether the axis renderer
can optionally adjust each of the gutters further.

|
invalidateDisplayList | () | method |
override public function invalidateDisplayList():void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Product Version: | Flex 3 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Marks a component so that its updateDisplayList()
method gets called during a later screen update.
Invalidation is a useful mechanism for eliminating duplicate work by delaying processing of changes to a component until a later screen update. For example, if you want to change the width and height, it would be wasteful to update the component immediately after you change the width and then update again with the new height. It is more efficient to change both properties and then render the component with its new size once.
Invalidation methods rarely get called. In general, setting a property on a component automatically calls the appropriate invalidation method.
invalidateSize | () | method |
override public function invalidateSize():void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Product Version: | Flex 3 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Marks a component so that its measure()
method gets called during a later screen update.
Invalidation is a useful mechanism for eliminating duplicate work by delaying processing of changes to a component until a later screen update. For example, if you want to change the text and font size, it would be wasteful to update the text immediately after you change it and then update the size when it gets set. It is more efficient to change both properties and then render the text with its new size once.
Invalidation methods rarely get called. In general, setting a property on a component automatically calls the appropriate invalidation method.
measure | () | method |
override protected function measure():void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Product Version: | Flex 3 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Calculates the default size, and optionally the default minimum size, of the component. This is an advanced method that you might override when creating a subclass of UIComponent.
You do not call this method directly. Flex calls the
measure()
method when the component is added to a container
using the addChild()
method, and when the component's
invalidateSize()
method is called.
When you set a specific height and width of a component,
Flex does not call the measure()
method,
even if you explicitly call the invalidateSize()
method.
That is, Flex only calls the measure()
method if
the explicitWidth
property or the explicitHeight
property of the component is NaN.
In your override of this method, you must set the
measuredWidth
and measuredHeight
properties
to define the default size.
You can optionally set the measuredMinWidth
and
measuredMinHeight
properties to define the default
minimum size.
Most components calculate these values based on the content they are displaying, and from the properties that affect content display. A few components simply have hard-coded default values.
The conceptual point of measure()
is for the component to provide
its own natural or intrinsic size as a default. Therefore, the
measuredWidth
and measuredHeight
properties
should be determined by factors such as:
- The amount of text the component needs to display.
- The styles, such as
fontSize
, for that text. - The size of a JPEG image that the component displays.
- The measured or explicit sizes of the component's children.
- Any borders, margins, and gaps.
In some cases, there is no intrinsic way to determine default values.
For example, a simple GreenCircle component might simply set
measuredWidth = 100 and measuredHeight = 100 in its measure()
method to
provide a reasonable default size. In other cases, such as a TextArea,
an appropriate computation (such as finding the right width and height
that would just display all the text and have the aspect ratio of a Golden Rectangle)
might be too time-consuming to be worthwhile.
The default implementation of measure()
sets measuredWidth
, measuredHeight
,
measuredMinWidth
, and measuredMinHeight
to 0
.
move | () | method |
override public function move(x:Number, y:Number):void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Product Version: | Flex 3 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Moves this object to the specified x and y coordinates.
Parameters
x:Number — The new x-position for this object.
| |
y:Number — The new y-position for this object.
|
setActualSize | () | method |
override public function setActualSize(w:Number, h:Number):void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Product Version: | Flex 3 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Sets the actual size of this object.
This method is mainly for use in implementing the
updateDisplayList()
method, which is where
you compute this object's actual size based on
its explicit size, parent-relative (percent) size,
and measured size.
You then apply this actual size to the object
by calling setActualSize()
.
In other situations, you should be setting properties
such as width
, height
,
percentWidth
, or percentHeight
rather than calling this method.
Parameters
w:Number — The new width for this object.
| |
h:Number — The new height for this object.
|
updateDisplayList | () | method |
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Product Version: | Flex 3 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Draws the object and/or sizes and positions its children. This is an advanced method that you might override when creating a subclass of UIComponent.
You do not call this method directly. Flex calls the
updateDisplayList()
method when the component is added to a container
using the addChild()
method, and when the component's
invalidateDisplayList()
method is called.
If the component has no children, this method
is where you would do programmatic drawing
using methods on the component's Graphics object
such as graphics.drawRect()
.
If the component has children, this method is where
you would call the move()
and setActualSize()
methods on its children.
Components can do programmatic drawing even if
they have children. In doing either, use the
component's unscaledWidth
and unscaledHeight
as its bounds.
It is important to use unscaledWidth
and
unscaledHeight
instead of the width
and height
properties.
Parameters
unscaledWidth:Number — Specifies the width of the component, in pixels,
in the component's coordinates, regardless of the value of the
scaleX property of the component.
| |
unscaledHeight:Number — Specifies the height of the component, in pixels,
in the component's coordinates, regardless of the value of the
