Class LineChartBuilder

Builds the chart.

Return

Chart — A Chart object, which can be embedded into documents, UI elements, or used as a static image.

Reverses the drawing of series in the domain axis. For vertical-range charts (such as line, area or column charts), this means the horizontal axis is drawn from right to left. For horizontal-range charts (such as bar charts), this means the vertical axis is drawn from top to bottom. For pie charts, this means the slices are drawn counterclockwise.

// Creates a pie chart builder and sets drawing of the slices in a
// counter-clockwise manner.
const builder = Charts.newPieChart();
builder.reverseCategories();

Return

LineChartBuilder — This builder, useful for chaining.

Sets the background color for the chart.

// Creates a line chart builder and sets the background color to gray
const builder = Charts.newLineChart();
builder.setBackgroundColor('gray');

Parameters

Return

Sets the colors for the lines in the chart.

// Creates a line chart builder and sets the first two lines to be drawn in
// green and red, respectively.
const builder = Charts.newLineChart();
builder.setColors(['green', 'red']);

Parameters

Sets the style to use for curves in the chart. See CurveStyle for allowed curve styles.

// Creates a line chart builder and curves the lines in the chart.
