enablePaging(enablePaging)

Sets whether to enable paging through the data.

The default behavior is paging disabled. If paging is enabled the default page size is 10.

Parameters

Name Type Description
enablePaging
Boolean true if paging should be enabled, false otherwise.

Return

EmbeddedTableChartBuilder — This builder, useful for chaining.


enablePaging(pageSize)

Enables paging and sets the number of rows in each page.

The default page size is 10.

 // 
  
 Creates 
  
 a 
  
 table 
  
 chart 
  
 builder 
  
 and 
  
 enables 
  
 paging 
  
 with 
  
 page 
  
 size 
  
 of 
  
 5. 
 var 
  
 builder 
  
 = 
  
 Charts 
 . 
 newTableChart 
 (); 
 builder 
 . 
 enablePaging 
 ( 
 5 
 ); 

Parameters

Name Type Description
pageSize
Integer The number of rows in each page of the table.

Return

EmbeddedTableChartBuilder — This builder, useful for chaining.


enablePaging(pageSize, startPage)

Enables paging, sets the number of rows in each page and the first table page to display (page numbers are zero based).

The default page size is 10, and the default start page is 0.

 // 
  
 Creates 
  
 a 
  
 table 
  
 chart 
  
 builder 
  
 and 
  
 enables 
  
 paging 
  
 with

 . 
 newTableChart 
 (); 
 builder 
 . 
 enablePaging 
 ( 
 5 
 , 
  
 2 
 ); 

Parameters

Name Type Description
pageSize
Integer The number of rows in each page of the table.
startPage
Integer The first table page to display (page numbers are zero-based).

Return

EmbeddedTableChartBuilder — This builder, useful for chaining.


enableRtlTable(rtlEnabled)

Adds basic support for right-to-left languages (such as Arabic or Hebrew) by reversing the column order of the table, so that column zero is the right-most column, and the last column is the left-most column.

This does not affect the column index in the underlying data, only the order of display. Full bi-directional (BiDi) language display is not supported by the table visualization even with this option. This option is ignored if you enable paging (using the page option), or if the table has scroll bars because you have specified height and width options smaller than the required table size. The default behavior is RTL support disabled.

Parameters

Name Type Description
rtlEnabled
Boolean true if right-to-left support should be enabled, false otherwise.

Return

EmbeddedTableChartBuilder — This builder, useful for chaining.


enableSorting(enableSorting)

Sets whether to sort columns when the user clicks a column heading.

If sorting is enabled, when users click on the column header the rows are automatically sorted. The default behavior is sorting enabled.

Parameters

Name Type Description
enableSorting
Boolean true to enable sorting by clicking on column headers, false otherwise.

Return

EmbeddedTableChartBuilder — This builder, useful for chaining.


getChartType()

Returns the current chart type.

Return

ChartType — the chart type


getContainer()
