Field Detail

{function} add

Use this extension point to add a new protovis mark to another mark.

If the extension point refers to a panel mark, the parent of the new mark will be that panel. Otherwise, its parent will be the parent panel of the mark of the extension point.

The following example shows how to add an image to an axis tick:

function yAxisTick(){
    return new pv.Image()
            .url('res/images/arrowYy.png')
            .lineWidth(0)
            .height(7)
            .width(5);
}

{number|string} ibits

Flags that affect the interactivity of the mark.

The default value, -1 has all bits with the value "1".

The following are the supported bit values:

ShowsActivity	The mark's style can change based on the active scene.
ShowsSelection	The mark's style can change based on whether the datums in its scene are selected.
ShowsTooltip	The mark displays a tooltip when pointed to.
Selectable	The mark can be selected by one of the possible means. Use this to disable this mark from affecting selection, by whatever means.
SelectableByClick	The mark can be selected by clicking on it. Requires the Selectable bit as well.
SelectableByRubberband	The mark can be selected by using the rubber-band.
SelectableByFocusWindow	The mark can be selected when the focus window reveals it.
Hoverable	The mark can be hovered-over and affect its scene's active state.
