Scatter Control: pickList

Scatter Control: pickList

an SCL list of picked items when actionMode is set to Pick

Type: List

Valid Values:

To get the items from the pickList attribute, use the _getPickList method. The SCL list that is returned is a named SCL list. The named SCL list contains a named entry for every variable associated with the graph.

To extract the variable values for the picked slice, use SCL's getnitemn() and getnitemc() routines. If the variable has not been assigned, there is no entry for it in the list. Use the following names in the getnitemn() and getnitemc() routines:

Color
Label
Shape
Size
X
Y
Z

To collect information on multiple picks in a graph, use the _getPickedItemCount method to determine how many items are picked, and then loop through the list to get each item.

To specify a list of slices to highlight in a pie, create a list of lists with variable values that identify each slice, and assign that list to the pickList attribute. The sub-lists do not have to contain named items, but if they are not named items, each sub-list should contain the following values in the order that they are listed here:

X variable value
Y variable value
Z variable value (if there is a Z variable assigned and viewMode is set to 3D or 3DPerspective).
