The DataTransform object represents a portion of a chart that contains glyphs and can transform values to screen coordinates and vice versa. Each DataTransform object has a horizontal axis, a vertical axis, and a set of glyphs (background, data, and overlay) to render.

In theory, a chart can contain multiple overlaid DataTransform objects. This allows you to display a chart with multiple data sets rendered in the same area but with different ranges. For exemplo, you might want to show monthly revenues compared to the number of units sold. If revenue was typically in millions while units was typically in the thousands, it would be difficult to render these effectively along the same range. Overlaying them in different DataTransform objects allows the end user to compare trends in the values when they are rendered with different ranges.

Charts can only contain one set of DataTransform.

Most of the time, you will use the ChartBase object, which hides the existance of the DataTransform object between the chart and its contained glyphs and axis objects. If you create your own ChartElement objects, you must understand the methods of the DataTransform class to correctly implement their element.

Detalhes do método
dataChanged()método
public function dataChanged():void

Informs the DataTransform that some of the underlying data being represented on the chart has changed. The DataTransform generally has no knowledge of the source of the underlying data being represented by the chart, so glyphs should call this when their data changes so that the DataTransform can recalculate range scales based on their data. This does not invalidate the DataTransform, because there is no guarantee the data has changed. The axis objects (or range objects) must trigger an invalidate event.

describeData()método 
public function describeData(dimension:String, requiredFields:uint):Array

Collects important displayed values for all elements associated with this data transform. Axis instances call this method to collect the values they need to consider when auto-generating appropriate ranges. This method returns an Array of BoundedValue objects.

To collect important values for the horizontal axis of a CartesianTransform, pass 0. To collect values for the vertical axis, pass 1.

Parâmetros

dimension:String — The dimension to collect values for.
 
requiredFields:uint — Defines the data that are required by this transform.

Retorna
Array — A Array of BoundedValue objects.
getAxis()método 
public function getAxis(dimension:String):IAxis

Retrieves the axis instance responsible for transforming the data dimension specified by the dimension parameter. If no axis has been previously assigned, a default axis is created. The default axis for all dimensions is a LinearAxis with the autoAdjust property set to false.

Parâmetros

dimension:String — The dimension whose axis is responsible for transforming the data.

Retorna
IAxis — The axis instance.

setAxis()método 
public function setAxis(dimension:String, v:IAxis):void

Assigns an axis instance to a particular dimension of the transform. Axis objects are assigned by the enclosing chart object.

Parâmetros

dimension:String — The dimension of the transform.
 
v:IAxis — The target axis instance.

transformCache()método 
public function transformCache(cache:Array, xField:String, xConvertedField:String, yField:String, yConvertedField:String):void

Maps a set of numeric values representing data to screen coordinates. This method assumes the values are all numbers, so any non-numeric values must have been previously converted with the mapCache() method.

Parâmetros

cache:Array — An array of objects containing the data values in their fields. This is also where this function will store the converted numeric values.
 
xField:String — The field where the data values for the x axis can be found.
 
xConvertedField:String — The field where the mapped x screen coordinate will be stored.
 
yField:String — The field where the data values for the y axis can be found.
 
yConvertedField:String — The field where the mapped y screen coordinate will be stored.

Detalhes do evento
transformChange Evento
Event Object Type: mx.events.FlexEvent
FlexEvent.type property = mx.events.FlexEvent.TRANSFORM_CHANGE

Dispatched when the transformation from data space to screen space has changed, typically either because the axes that make up the transformation have changed in some way, or the data transform itself has size.

The FlexEvent.TRANSFORM_CHANGE constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a transformChange event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropriedadeValor
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse
currentTargetThe Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For exemplo, if you use myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the currentTarget.
targetThe Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the currentTarget property to always access the Object listening for the event.
