report parameter in scripting

Hi,
i am trying to use report input parameter in onRender() of chart...

function beforeDrawLegendItem(lerh, bounds, icsc)
{

var seriestitle1 = "this year" + params["rp_year"].value;

}

this is giving error: params is not defined..........

any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi mh10,

I know one thing you can do to get the value would be to set the value of the parameter into a PersistentGlobalVariable somewhere in script outside of the chart. Then you can call the PGV inside the chart function you're using with:

var param = icsc.getExternalContent().getScriptable().getPersistentGlobalVariable("pgv_name");

I'll have to look into it to see if there's a way to grab the parameter inside the chart without doing this. I'll let you know if I find anything.
