Class DataViewDefinitionBuilder

  • DataViewDefinitionBuilder is used to build DataViewDefinition objects.

  • The setColumns method allows specifying which columns to include in the data view and can also define column roles.

  • The build method finalizes and returns the DataViewDefinition object.

  • An example demonstrates using setColumns to display a subset of data from a spreadsheet in a chart.

  • Another example shows how to use setColumns with column roles to style chart elements based on data.

DataViewDefinitionBuilder

Builder for DataViewDefinition objects.

Here's an example of using the builder. The data is imported from a Google spreadsheet.

functiondoGet(){
// This example creates two table charts side by side. One uses a data view
// definition to restrict the number of displayed columns.
// Get sample data from a spreadsheet.
constdataSourceUrl='https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/tq?range=A1%3AF'+
'&key=0Aq4s9w_HxMs7dHpfX05JdmVSb1FpT21sbXd4NVE3UEE&gid=4&headers=-1';
// Create a chart to display all of the data.
constoriginalChart=Charts.newTableChart()
.setDimensions(600,500)
.setDataSourceUrl(dataSourceUrl)
.build();
// Create another chart to display a subset of the data (only columns 1 and
// 4).
constdataViewDefinition=Charts.newDataViewDefinition().setColumns([0,3]);
constlimitedChart=Charts.newTableChart()
.setDimensions(200,500)
.setDataSourceUrl(dataSourceUrl)
.setDataViewDefinition(dataViewDefinition)
.build();
consthtmlOutput=HtmlService.createHtmlOutput();
constoriginalChartData=Utilities.base64Encode(
originalChart.getAs('image/png').getBytes(),
);
constoriginalChartUrl=
`data:image/png;base64,${encodeURI(originalChartData)}`;
constlimitedChartData=Utilities.base64Encode(
limitedChart.getAs('image/png').getBytes(),
);
constlimitedChartUrl=
`data:image/png;base64,${encodeURI(limitedChartData)}`;
htmlOutput.append('<table><tr><td>');
htmlOutput.append(`<img border="1" src="${originalChartUrl}">`);
htmlOutput.append('</td><td>');
htmlOutput.append(`<img border="1" src="${limitedChartUrl}">`);
htmlOutput.append('</td></tr></table>');
returnhtmlOutput;
}

Methods

MethodReturn typeBrief description
build() DataViewDefinition Builds and returns the data view definition object that was built using this builder.
setColumns(columns) DataViewDefinitionBuilder Sets the indexes of the columns to include in the data view as well as specifying role-column information.

Detailed documentation

build()

Builds and returns the data view definition object that was built using this builder.

Return

DataViewDefinition — A data view definition object that was built using this builder.


setColumns(columns)

Sets the indexes of the columns to include in the data view as well as specifying role-column information. This subset of column indexes refer to the columns of the data source that the data view is derived from.

A column role describes the purpose of the data in that column: for example, a column might hold data describing tooltip text, data point annotations, or uncertainty indicators. For more details, see DataTable Roles in the Google Charts documentation.

Assuming a spreadsheet with the following data in A1:C3:

'abc', 20, 'blue';
'def', 30, 'red';
'ghi', 40, 'orange';
The following code creates a bar chart where each bar is a different color. The colors are assigned via a style "role column".
constCOLUMN_SPEC=[
0,// categories
1,// counts
{sourceColumn:2,role:'style'},
];
functionroleColumnChart(){
constspreadsheet=SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
constsheet=spreadsheet.getActiveSheet();
constviewSpec=
Charts.newDataViewDefinition().setColumns(COLUMN_SPEC).build();
constchartBuilder=sheet.newChart()
.setChartType(Charts.ChartType.BAR)
.setDataViewDefinition(viewSpec)
.setOption('useFirstColumnAsDomain',true)
.setPosition(5,1,0,0)
.setOption('hAxis',{title:'Counts'})
.setOption('vAxis',{title:'Categories'})
.addRange(sheet.getRange('A1:C3'));
sheet.insertChart(chartBuilder.build());
}

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
columnsObject[]An array of column indexes, or column descriptions (an object), to include in the data view. The column descriptions define a column role. The data table and the enumeration for data view columns are zero-based.

Return

DataViewDefinitionBuilder — This builder, useful for chaining.
