is it possible to get handles of all chars in a stage?

I wish to get handles of all the charts in a stage in order to modify background settings.

I noticed there is a stage.forEachChild(function(element) { … }) method that allows you to fire up a function for each stage element.

For example:

stage.forEachChild(function(element) {
  alert(element.id());
});

The problem is that "element" type is anychart.graphics.vector.Element; instead I need a anychart.core.Chart object in order to call the background() method. Is there a way to do that?

Solution

  • Unfortunately, is a GraphicsJS entity and it returns its graphic vector elements as children. It doesn't control charts. You can store all chart in an object or array and iterate them, or apply a unique ID to every chart and get access to them at any moment by anychart.getChartById('CHART_ID');.
