Clear line chart

Function: Clear line chart​

This action allows you to instantly remove all data displayed on a specific Line Chart component within your application. It's useful when you want to reset a chart, prepare it for new data, or simply hide the current data without removing the chart component itself.

Input​

  • UI element (Type: PART, specifically a Line Chart)
    • The Line Chart component on your page that you wish to clear. This is a required input, meaning you must specify which chart to clear.

Output​

This function does not produce any direct output. It performs an action on the specified UI element, clearing its displayed data.

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

  1. Resetting a Sales Performance Chart:

    • Scenario: You have a dashboard showing sales performance over time in a Line Chart. Users can apply various filters (e.g., by region, product category). You want to provide a "Reset Filters" button that, when clicked, also clears the chart before new data is loaded based on the reset filters.
    • Inputs:
      • UI element: Sales Performance Chart (the specific Line Chart component on your dashboard)
    • Result: The Sales Performance Chart will instantly become empty, ready to display new data once the filters are reset and new data is fetched.

  2. Preparing a Chart for New Customer Data:

    • Scenario: In a customer management application, when a user selects a new customer from a list, you want to display their historical order data in a Line Chart. Before loading the new customer's data, you need to clear any data from the previously viewed customer to avoid confusion.
    • Inputs:
      • UI element: Customer Order History Chart (the Line Chart component showing order history)
    • Result: The Customer Order History Chart will be cleared of all previous data, ensuring that only the newly selected customer's information is displayed.

  3. Clearing a Chart on Page Load (Conditional):

    • Scenario: You have a report page with a Line Chart that should only display data after a user clicks a "Generate Report" button. On initial page load, you want the chart to be empty, preventing any stale or default data from being shown until the user actively generates a report.
    • Inputs:
      • UI element: Monthly Report Chart (the Line Chart component on your report page)
    • Result: When the page loads, the Monthly Report Chart will be empty, providing a clean slate for the user to generate their desired report.
