Method Documentation

◆ addAreaFillBand:

- (void) addAreaFillBand: (nullable CPTLimitBand *)  limitBand

Add an area fill limit band.

The band will be drawn on top of the areaFill between the plot line and the areaBaseValue.

Parameters
limitBandThe new limit band.

◆ indexOfVisiblePointClosestToPlotAreaPoint:

- (NSUInteger) indexOfVisiblePointClosestToPlotAreaPoint: (CGPoint viewPoint

Returns the index of the closest visible point to the point passed in.

viewPointThe reference point.
Returns
The index of the closest point, or NSNotFound if there is no visible point.

◆ initWithFrame:

newFrameThe frame rectangle.
Returns
The initialized CPTScatterPlot object.

Reimplemented from CPTPlot.

◆ plotAreaPointOfVisiblePointAtIndex:

Returns the plot area view point of a visible point.

Parameters
idxThe index of the point.
Returns
The view point of the visible point at the index passed.

◆ plotSymbolForRecordIndex:

- (nullable CPTPlotSymbol *) plotSymbolForRecordIndex: (NSUInteger idx

Returns the plot symbol to use for a given index.

Parameters
idxThe index of the record.
Returns
The plot symbol to use, or nil if no plot symbol should be drawn.

◆ plotWasLineHitByInteractionPoint:

- (BOOL) plotWasLineHitByInteractionPoint: (CGPoint interactionPoint
implementation

◆ pointingDeviceDownEvent:atPoint:

- (BOOL) pointingDeviceDownEvent: (nonnull CPTNativeEvent *)  event
atPoint: (CGPoint interactionPoint 
implementation

Informs the receiver that the user has pressed the mouse button.

If this plot has a delegate that responds to the -scatterPlot:plotSymbolTouchDownAtRecordIndex: or -scatterPlot:plotSymbolTouchDownAtRecordIndex:withEvent: or -scatterPlot:plotSymbolWasSelectedAtRecordIndex: or -scatterPlot:plotSymbolWasSelectedAtRecordIndex:withEvent: methods, the data points are searched to find the index of the one closest to the interactionPoint. The 'touchDown' delegate method(s) will be called and this method will return YES if the interactionPoint is within the plotSymbolMarginForHitDetection of the closest data point. Then, if no plot symbol was hit or allowSimultaneousSymbolAndPlotSelection is YES and if this plot has a delegate that responds to the -scatterPlotDataLineTouchDown: or -scatterPlot:dataLineTouchDownWithEvent: or -scatterPlotDataLineWasSelected: or -scatterPlot:dataLineWasSelectedWithEvent: methods and the interactionPoint falls within plotLineMarginForHitDetection points of the plot line, then the 'dataLineTouchDown' delegate method(s) will be called and this method will return YES. This method returns NO if the interactionPoint is not within plotSymbolMarginForHitDetection points of any of the data points or within plotLineMarginForHitDetection points of the plot line.

Parameters
eventThe OS event.
interactionPointThe coordinates of the interaction.
Returns
Whether the event was handled or not.

Reimplemented from CPTPlot.

◆ pointingDeviceUpEvent:atPoint:

atPoint: (CGPoint interactionPoint 
implementation

Informs the receiver that the user has released the mouse button.

If this plot has a delegate that responds to the -scatterPlot:plotSymbolTouchDownAtRecordIndex: or -scatterPlot:plotSymbolTouchDownAtRecordIndex:withEvent: or -scatterPlot:plotSymbolWasSelectedAtRecordIndex: or -scatterPlot:plotSymbolWasSelectedAtRecordIndex:withEvent: methods, the data points are searched to find the index of the one closest to the interactionPoint. The 'touchDown' delegate method(s) will be called and this method will return YES if the interactionPoint is within the plotSymbolMarginForHitDetection of the closest data point. Then, if no plot symbol was hit or allowSimultaneousSymbolAndPlotSelection is YES and if this plot has a delegate that responds to the -scatterPlotDataLineTouchUp: or -scatterPlot:dataLineTouchUpWithEvent: or -scatterPlotDataLineWasSelected: or -scatterPlot:dataLineWasSelectedWithEvent: methods and the interactionPoint falls within plotLineMarginForHitDetection points of the plot line, then the 'dataLineTouchUp' delegate method(s) will be called and this method will return YES. This method returns NO if the interactionPoint is not within plotSymbolMarginForHitDetection points of any of the data points or within plotLineMarginForHitDetection points of the plot line.

Parameters
