Selection in Angular 3D Chart control

27 Apr 202424 minutes to read

The 3D chart provides selection support for the series and its data points on mouse click.

When mouse is clicked on the data points, the corresponding series legend will also be selected.

We have different types of selection mode for selecting a data.

  • None
  • Point
  • Series
  • Cluster

Point

To select a point, set the selectionMode property to Point.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { Chart3DAllModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         Chart3DAllModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    // specifies the template string for the Chart component
    template: `<ejs-chart3d style='display:block;' align='center' [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis' [selectionMode]="selection"

    }
}

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Series

To select a series, set the selectionMode property to Series.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { Chart3DAllModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component } from '@angular/core';

    }
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Cluster

To select the points that corresponds to the same index in all the series, set the selectionMode property to Cluster.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { Chart3DAllModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({

    }
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Selection type

To select multiple points or series, enable the isMultiSelect property.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { Chart3DAllModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({

    // specifies the template string for the Chart component
    template: `<ejs-chart3d style='display:block;' align='center' [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis' [selectionMode]="selection" [isMultiSelect]=true 
    rotation=7 tilt=10 depth=100 [enableRotation]='enableRotation'>

})
export class AppComponent {

            { country: "China", gold: 40, silver: 60, bronze: 55 },
            { country: "Japan", gold: 70, silver: 60, bronze: 50 },
            { country: "Australia", gold: 60, silver: 56, bronze: 40 },
            { country: "France", gold: 50, silver: 45, bronze: 35 },
            { country: "Germany", gold: 40, silver: 30, bronze: 22 },

            { country: "Sweden", gold: 30, silver: 25, bronze: 27 }
        ];
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'Category',
            labelRotation: -45,
            labelPlacement: 'BetweenTicks'
        };
        this.enableRotation = true;
        this.selection = "Point";
    }
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Selection during initial loading

In a 3D chart, selecting a point or series during initial loading can only be done programmatically. The selectedDataIndexes property can be used for this.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { Chart3DAllModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         Chart3DAllModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    // specifies the template string for the Chart component
    template: `<ejs-chart3d style='display:block;' align='center' [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis' [selectionMode]="selection" [isMultiSelect]=true [selectedDataIndexes]="selectedDataIndexes"
    rotation=7 tilt=10 depth=100 [enableRotation]='enableRotation'>
    <e-chart3d-series-collection>
        <e-chart3d-series [dataSource]='dataSource' type='Column' xName='country' yName='gold'>
        </e-chart3d-series>
        <e-chart3d-series [dataSource]='dataSource' type='Column' xName='country' yName='silver'>
        </e-chart3d-series>
        <e-chart3d-series [dataSource]='dataSource' type='Column' xName='country' yName='bronze'>
        </e-chart3d-series>
    </e-chart3d-series-collection>
</ejs-chart3d>`
})
export class AppComponent {
    public dataSource?: Object[];
    public selectedDataIndexes?: Object[];
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public selection?: String;
    public enableRotation?: boolean;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.dataSource = [
            { country: "USA", gold: 50, silver: 70, bronze: 45 },
            { country: "China", gold: 40, silver: 60, bronze: 55 },
            { country: "Japan", gold: 70, silver: 60, bronze: 50 },
            { country: "Australia", gold: 60, silver: 56, bronze: 40 },
            { country: "France", gold: 50, silver: 45, bronze: 35 },
            { country: "Germany", gold: 40, silver: 30, bronze: 22 },
            { country: "Italy", gold: 40, silver: 35, bronze: 37 },
            { country: "Sweden", gold: 30, silver: 25, bronze: 27 }
        ];
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'Category',
            labelRotation: -45,
            labelPlacement: 'BetweenTicks'
        };
        this.enableRotation = true;
        this.selection = "Point";
        this.selectedDataIndexes = [
            { series: 0, point: 1}, { series: 2, point: 3}
        ];
    }
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Selection through legend

To select a point or series through legend use the toggleVisibility property. Also, use enableHighlight property for highlighting the series through legend.
