3D Chart Properties (threedProperties)

How to:

These properties control the general appearance of 3D charts (chart types 'area3D', 'bar3D', and 'surface3D').

Syntax: How to Set 3D Chart Properties 

"threedProperties": {
   "rotate": number, 
   "tilt": number,   
   "shadeSides": boolean 
},

where:

"rotate": number

Is a number between 0 and 90 that defines the rotation of the 3D cube. The default value is 40.

"tilt": number

Is a number between 0 and 90 that defines the tilt of the 3D cube. The default value is 40.

"shadeSides": boolean

Valid values are:

  • true, to shade 3D risers. This is the default value.
  • false, to not shade 3D risers.

Example: Setting Properties for a 3D Area Chart

The following request generates a 3D area chart with the default properties: 

DEFINE FILE WF_RETAIL_LITE
DIFFA = GROSS_PROFIT_US - REVENUE_US;
DIFFB = REVENUE_US - GROSS_PROFIT_US;
DIFFC = COGS_US - (COGS_US * DISCOUNT_US)/100;
DIFFD = COGS_US - MSRP_US;
END
GRAPH FILE WF_RETAIL_LITE
SUM DIFFA DIFFB DIFFC DIFFD
BY PRODUCT_CATEGORY
ON GRAPH PCHOLD FORMAT JSCHART
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH 3DAREAS
END

The output is:

The following version of the request sets the rotation to 20, the tilt to 30, and shadeSides to false: 

DEFINE FILE WF_RETAIL_LITE
DIFFA = GROSS_PROFIT_US - REVENUE_US;
DIFFB = REVENUE_US - GROSS_PROFIT_US;
DIFFC = COGS_US - (COGS_US * DISCOUNT_US)/100;
DIFFD = COGS_US - MSRP_US;
END
GRAPH FILE WF_RETAIL_LITE
SUM DIFFA DIFFB DIFFC DIFFD
BY PRODUCT_CATEGORY
ON GRAPH PCHOLD FORMAT JSCHART
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH 3DAREAS
ON GRAPH SET STYLE *
*GRAPH_JS
"threedProperties": {
	"rotate": 20, "tilt": 30, "shadeSides": false}           
*END
ENDSTYLE
END

The output is:
