ui.igBaseChart

ui.igBaseChart_image
This is the base widget for igSparkline, igFunnelChart, and igDoughnutChart. It contains options, methods, events, and CSS classes implemented by the derived widgets. It must be inherited and when using igBaseChart example code, you should replace igBaseChart with the actual chart widget used.

Code Sample

 
    // See specific members for more details or see derived widgets: igSparkline, 
    // igFunnelChart, or igDoughnutChart for implementation overview.
