Return false in order to cancel data binding.
Function takes first argument null and second argument ui.
Use ui.owner to obtain reference to chart widget.
Use ui.dataSource to obtain reference to instance of $.ig.DataSource.Code Sample
//Delegate $(document).delegate(".selector", "igbasechartdatabinding", function (evt, ui) { // Get reference to igBaseChart. ui.owner; // Get reference to instance of $.ig.DataSource. ui.dataSource; }); //Initialize $(".selector").igBaseChart({ dataBinding: function(evt, ui) {...} });
-
dataBound
- Cancellable:
- false
Event which is raised after data binding.
Function takes first argument null and second argument ui.
Use ui.owner to obtain reference to chart widget.
Use ui.data to obtain reference to array actual data which is displayed by chart.
Use ui.dataSource to obtain reference to instance of $.ig.DataSource.Code Sample
//Delegate $(document).delegate(".selector", "igbasechartdatabound", function (evt, ui) { // Get reference to igBaseChart. ui.owner; // Get reference to igBaseChart's array data. ui.data; // Get reference to instance of $.ig.DataSource. ui.dataSource; }); //Initialize $(".selector").igBaseChart({ dataBound: function(evt, ui) {...} });
