Introduction

Graphic Item Functions allow Operator Actions, executed in a Graphic Page, to interact with items on the page.

Using Graphic Item Functions you can:

• Display or hide graphic items on a page, for example a pop-up window.
• Change the text displayed in a text graphic item.
• Set the text displayed in the tooltip when the user moves the mouse over a graphic item.
• Allow or prevent a user from interacting with a graphic item.
• Change the X axis of an Embedded Plot.

Locating Graphic Items

All graphic items have Id and Label properties:

The graphic editor automatically assigns a value to the Id property. You can use any string value for the Label property.

Most Graphic Item Functions use an ItemId parameter to indicate which graphic item to interact with. When a Graphic Item function runs, the function will search for a graphic item in the following order:

1. The first graphic item with a matching Label.
2. The graphic item with a matching Id from the same graphic page as the calling function.
3. If the function is called from an embedded graphic, the search continues from step 1 in the container graphic page.
4. If no graphic item is found, a runtime error is reported.

We recommended you always use the Label property to select graphic items.

Note: Certain edit operations can change the Id of a shape. For example:

• Cutting and pasting will allocate new Id values to the pasted shapes.
• Breaking a group will allocate new Id values to the contents of the group.

Graphic Item Functions
