SVGGraph options: stroke_colour

« Return to previous page

Option name:

stroke_colour

Default value:

"rgb(0,0,0)"

MultiLineGraph: "fillColour"

MultiRadarGraph: "fillColour"

Added in version:

1.0

Data type:

colour [?]

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.

measurement

An integer or float value, or a string containing a number followed by one of these CSS units: px, in, cm, mm, pt, pc.

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:

yes [?]

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.

Structure:

yes [?]

Structure options may also be used as fields in the structure option's array to specify overriding settings for each data item. For more details and examples, visit the structured data page.

Example:

$settings['widget_grunge'] = 'very';
$settings['structure'] = array(
  'key' => 0, 'value' => 1,
  'widget_grunge' => 2
);

In this example widgets will be very grungy, except when a non-null item with the key 2 in the structured data array sets the grunginess to a different value.

global structure

Colour of graph lines.

This option sets the colour of lines drawn as part of the data items on the graphs. By this I mean the edge around bars and pie slices, and the lines on line and radar graphs.

From version 3.4 the lines can be stroked using gradients and patterns.

The special value "fillColour" strokes the line using the solid colour from the graph's assigned colours. The value "fill" strokes the line using the full assigned colour, including any gradients or patterns.

The colour of the lines on StackedLineGraph come from the colours assigned to the graph using the colour functions and are not affected by this option.
