Change chart linestyle at runtime

jas1956y

I have a line chart that is grouping data by year. I would like the linestyle for each year to be different. Solid for one, dashed for the next. How do I do this?

Hi jas1956y, 
 
You could write a script in the beforeDrawSeries method like below. 
 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
function beforeDrawSeries( series, isr, icsc )
{
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.component.impl);
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.attribute);
var seriesID = series.getSeriesIdentifier();
if (seriesID == "2003")
{
series.getLineAttributes().setStyle(LineStyle.SOLID_LITERAL);
}
if (seriesID == "2004")
{
series.getLineAttributes().setStyle(LineStyle.DASHED_LITERAL);
}
if (seriesID == "2005")
{
series.getLineAttributes().setStyle(LineStyle.DOTTED_LITERAL);
}
}
</pre>

Thank you for the reply.

When I do as you suggested I get the following error:

Cannot find function getLineAttributes.

This is my code:

function beforeDrawSeries( series, isr, icsc )
{

importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.component.impl);
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.attribute);
var seriesID = series.getSeriesIdentifier();

if (seriesID != "2005")
{
series.getLineAttributes().setStyle(LineStyle.DOTTED_LITERAL);
}

}
