SVGGraph options: explode

« Return to SVGGraph options page

Option name:

explode

Default value:

"small"

Added in version:

2.15

Data type:

string [?]

The datatypes used in this documentation for specifying SVGGraph options are described below. All options can be a literal value of the data type described, a variable containing the data type, or an expression that will produce the data type when evaluated (and they must always be valid PHP expressions).

array

An array(), the number and data types of its members will depend on the option for which is it used.

boolean

A boolean TRUE or FALSE value, or any values that convert easily such as 1, "1", 0 and "".

callback

A callable function, which can be either the name of a function or an anonymous function itself.

colour

Any of the colour values supported by SVG inside a single or double quoted string. These include three and six digit hex codes, RGB and RGBA colours, and colour names. SVG uses "none" for no colour, which generally leaves things transparent.

fill

A colour value or one of the gradients and patterns supported by SVGGraph. See the SVGGraph colours page for details.

integer

A negative or positive whole number or 0.

number

Any number supported by PHP, for example 1 or -3.2 or 1.63e5 or M_PI.

string

Single or double quoted strings. Remember to double-quote your strings if you are inserting a line break: "Line 1\nLine 2".

Per-dataset:

no [?]

Per-dataset options allow specifying one option for all datasets or an array of options to be used for each dataset in turn. If there are more datasets than entries in the option array, the sequence will be repeated.

Example:

$settings['widget_taste'] = 'banana';
$settings['widget_colour'] = array(
  'red', 'green', 'blue'
);

For this example, the widgets for all datasets will taste of banana. The graph will use red widgets for dataset 0, green widgets for dataset 1 and blue widgets for dataset 2. Dataset 3 repeats the sequence so its widgets will be red, dataset 4 will have green widgets and dataset 5 will have blue widgets.

pie

Explosion method for exploded pie graph.

This option specifies the method SVGGraph will use for determining how far each slice of the ExplodedPieGraph will be moved away from the centre point based on its value. The options available are:

• "small"

  The smallest slice will be exploded the farthest.

• "large"

  The largest slice will be exploded the farthest.

• "all"

  All slices are exploded by the maximum amount.

• "none"

  No slices are exploded at all.

The farthest distance that the slices are exploded is set using the explode_amount option, and the amount each slice will be exploded by can be set individually using structured data.
