Hi guys, I'm developing a Pie chart and trying to create a legend for it.But the code snippet doesn't seem to do anything. please Help.
Here's my code:
visual.ts
module powerbi.extensibility.visual {
"use strict";
interface Data
{
quantity: number;
category: string;
color:string;
selectionId:ISelectionId;
}
interface PieChartArc {
datapoints: Data[];
setting: pieChartSettings;
dataview: DataView[];
}
interface pieChartSettings
{
Legend :
{
show: boolean;
};
}
interface LegendValues
{
category:string;
color:string;
selection:ISelectionId;
}
function visualTransform(options:VisualUpdateOptions,host:IVisualHost) : PieChartArc
{
let dataViews= options.dataViews;
let defaultSetting : pieChartSettings = {
Legend:{
show:false,
}
};
let viewModel: PieChartArc=
{
datapoints:[],
setting : defaultSetting,
dataview: dataViews
};
if (!dataViews
|| !dataViews[0]
|| !dataViews[0].categorical
|| !dataViews[0].categorical.categories
|| !dataViews[0].categorical.categories[0].source
|| !dataViews[0].categorical.values)
return viewModel;
let categorical=dataViews[0].categorical;
let category=categorical.categories[0];
let dataValue=categorical.values[0];
let pieChartData: Data[]=[];
let colorPalette: IColorPalette=host.colorPalette;
let objects= dataViews[0].metadata.objects
let pieChartSetting: pieChartSettings={
Legend:{
show: getValue<boolean>(objects,'Legend','show',defaultSetting.Legend.show)
}
}
for(let i=0;i<Math.max(category.values.length,dataValue.values.length);i++)
{
pieChartData.push({
quantity: <string>category.values[i],
color: colorPalette.getColor(<string>category.values[i]).value,
selectionId: host.createSelectionIdBuilder()
.withCategory(category, i)
.createSelectionId()
});
console.log(pieChartData[i].color);
}
