The VisualScript Cookbook
VisualScript makes it easy to link to source data or drill down to more reports or additional information in a single report.
You can add a note to any shape, event, task or table cell in VisualScript. This creates a tooltip
that displays the note in the visual.
{
var myDocument=new VS.Document();
var rootShape=myDocument.GetTheShape();
rootShape.SetLabel("Click for more info").SetNote("This is more information");
}
To show more structured data with a drill down assign a row in a DataTable to a shape or an event.
DataTables are discussed here.
{
var myDocument=new VS.Document();
var rootShape=myDocument.GetTheShape();
rootShape.SetLabel("Richard Szabo/nDirector of R&D").SetShapeDataRow(1,3);
}
You can add a whole new visual to a shape, event, task or even a table cell,
using the AddExpandedView() method. This returns a new VS.Document() object which you can use to
create a whole new image that appears as a tool tip on the parent.
{
var myDocument=new VS.Document();
var rootShape=myDocument.GetTheShape();
rootShape.SetLabel("Drill Down by clicking below"); //set the text that goes inside the shape
var expandVS=rootShape.AddExpandedView();
var eShape=expandVS.GetTheShape();
eShape.SetMinWidth(300).SetMinHeight(100);
var eTable=eShape.AddTable(4,6);
eTable.AddCell(2,3).SetLabel("A cell");
}
