Fix#2257. Fix#2929. Fix#2935 (probably in a way that will not satisfy the requester). 2257 and 2929 requested changes that ultimately affect the same section of code, so it's appropriate to deal with them together. 2257 requests the ability to make the chart background transparent (so that the Excel gridlines are visible beneath the chart), and the ability to hide an Axis. 2929 requests the ability to set a gradient background on the chart.
Fix#2705. Add to Axis class, Reader Xlsx Chart, and Writer Xlsx Chart. Add feature to an existing 32* sample, to an existing 33* sample, and a formal unit test.
Fix#2931. If surface charts are written with c:grouping tag, Excel will treat them as corrupt. Also, some 3D-ish Xml tags are required when 2D surface charts are written, else they will be treated as 3D. Also eliminate a duplicate line identified by #2932.
This was supposed to be mopping up some longstanding chart issues. But one of the sample files exposed a memory leak in Xlsx Writer, unrelated to charts. Since that is my best sample file for this problem, I would like to fix both problems at the same time.
Xlsx Writer for Worksheets calls getRowDimension for all rows on the sheet. As it happens, the sample file had data in the last rows after a huge gap of rows without any data. It correctly did not write anything for the unused rows. However, the call to getRowDimension actually creates a new RowDimension object if it doesn't already exist, and so it wound up creating over a million totally unneeded objects. This caused it to run out of memory when I tried to make a copy of the 8K input file. The logic is changed to call getRowDimension if and only if (there is data in the row or the RowDimension object already exists). It still has to loop through a million rows, but it no longer allocates the unneeded storage.
As for the Chart problems - fix#1797. This is where the file that caused the memory leak originated. Many of its problems were already resolved by the earlier large set of changes to Charts. However, there were a few new properties that needed to be added to Layout to make things complete - numberFormat code and source-linked, and dLblPos (position for labels); and autoTitleDeleted needs to be added to Charts.
Also fix#2077, by allowing the format to be specified in the Layout rather than the DataSeriesValues constructor.
* Move Gridlines from Chart to Axis
This could, I hope, be my last major change to Chart for a while. When I first noticed this problem, I thought it would be a breaking change. However, although this change establishes some deprecations, I don't think it breaks anything. Major and minor gridlines had only been settable by the Chart constructor. This PR moves them where they belong, to Axis (eexisting Chart constructor code will still work). This allows them to be specified from both X and Y axis.
Chart is now entirely covered except for 2 statements, one deprecated and one that I just can't figure out. 99.71% for Charts, 88.96% overall. All references to the Chart directory in Phpstan baseline are eliminated.
* Minor Fixes, Unit Tests
Line style color type should default to null not prstClr.
Chart X-axis and Y-axis should alway be Axis, never null.
Add some unit tests.
* More Tests, Some Improvements
Make it easier to change line styles, adding an alternate method besides a setter function with at least a dozen parameters.
* Charts Additional Support for Layout and DataSeriesValues
The dLbls tag in more or less the Xml equivalent of the Layout class. It is currently read and written only for the Chart as a whole. It can, however, also be applied to DataSeriesValues. Further it has properties which are currently ignored, namely label fill, border, and font colors. All of these omissions are handled by this PR. There are other properties which can be applied to the labels, but, for now, only the 3 colors are added.
DataSeriesValues can have effects (like glow). Since DSV now descends from Properties, these are already supported, but support needs to be added to the Reader and Writer to handle them. This PR adds the support.
* Add Unit Tests
Based on new samples.
* Minor Improvements
Slight increase to coverage.
* Additional Support for Chart DataSeriesValues
Fix#2863. DataSeriesValues now extends Properties, allowing it to share code in common with Axis and Gridlines. This causes some minor breakages; in particular line width is now initialized to null instead of Excel's default value, and is specified in points, as the user would expect from Excel, rather than the value stored in Xml.
This change:
- adds support for 1 or 2 marker colors.
- adds support for `smoothLine` to DataSeriesValues.
- will determine `catAx` or `valAx` for Axis based on what is read from the Xml when available, rather than guessing based on format. (Another minor break.)
- reads `formatCode` and `sourceLinked` for Axis.
- correct 2 uses of `$plotSeriesRef` to `$plotSeriesIndex` in Writer/Xlsx/Chart.
- pushes coverage over 90% for Chart (88.70% overall).
* Update Change Log
I had updated previously but forgot to stage the member.
* Adopt Some Suggestions
Incorporate some changes suggested by @bridgeplayr.
* Use ChartColor for DSV Fill And Font Text
DataSeriesValues Fill could be a scalar or an array, so I saved it till last.
* Some Final Cleanup
No code changes.
Illustrate even more of the new features in existing sample files.
Deprecate *_ARGB in Properties/ChartColors in favor of *_RGB, because it uses only 6 hex digits. The alpha value is stored separately.
Unit testing now results in 100% coverage for Axis and Properties. All the properties in methods in Gridlines were more or less duplicated in Axis, and these duplications are moved to the common ancestor Properties. So, there isn't anything left in Gridlines. PhpSpreadsheet Chart is now over 85% covered (it was below 35% until recently).
Properties are in many cases set to default to null/null-string, rather than the default values they receive from Excel, and are not written to Xml if unchanged. This is consistent with how Excel behaves. A new property `crossBetween` is added to Axis, and, with support for that added to Xlsx Reader and Writer, some minor Sample peculiarities are corrected, in particular, the charts were sometimes slightly truncated on the left and right edges.
* Expand Chart Support for schemeClr and prstClr
Fix#2219. Address some, but not all, issues mentioned in #2863.
For Pie Charts, fill color is stored in XML as part of dPt node, which had been ignored by Reader/Xlsx/Chart. Add support for it, including when specified as schemeClr or prstClr rather than srgbClr. Add support for prstClr in other cases where schemeClr is supported.
* Update Change Log
Add this PR.
* Add Support to Chart/Axis and Gridlines for Shadow
Continuing the work from #2865. Support is added for Shadow properties for Axis and Gridlines, and Glow and SoftEdges are extended to Gridlines. Tests are added. Some chart tests are moved from Reader/Xlsx and Writer/Xlsx so that most chart tests are under a single directory.
This is a minor breaking change. Since the support for these properties was just added, it can't really affect much in userland. Some properties had been stored in the form which the XML requires them rather than as the user would enter them to Excel. So, for example, setting the Glow size to 10 points would have caused it to be stored internally as 127,000. This change will store the size internally as 10, obviously making the appropriate conversion when reading from or writing to XML. This makes unit tests much simpler, and I think this is also what a user would expect, especially considering the difficulties in keeping track of the trailing zeros.
* More Tests
Confirm value change between internal and xml.
* Still More Tests
Add a little more coverage, and use a neat trick suggested by @MarkBaker in the discussion of PR #2724 to greatly simplify MultiplierTest.
* Add Support to Chart/Axis for Glow/SoftEdges
Chart is very under-covered in unit tests. I was hoping to just add some tests and be done with it, but that just won't suffice - many code changes are required. Adding Glow properties for Axis turned out to be a real mixed bag - no support in Xlsx/Reader at all, support in Xlsx/Writer ... for the X-axis only. So we'll just inch forward in many stages.
This change does not address other Axis properties (Fill, Shadow, Line, LineStyle, and maybe others, and their sub-properties). On my to-do list.
GridLines, and maybe other Chart objects, also should support these properties. This change does not address those. On my to-do list.
No support is added for spreadsheet formats other than Xlsx.
* Refactoring
This should make the code easier to follow, and I hope it will also be extensible to other object types (e.g. GridLines).
* More Refactoring
Make scheme/srgb easier to handle.
* Fix Typo
In a very rarely used function.
This is a leftover Scrutinizer change, but it needed more attention than most others. Chart/Title DocBlocks define caption as `null|string`. However, in the wild, Excel usually presents the caption as an array, and not an array of strings but rather of RichText items. I am not sure why an array is needed since a RichText item can contain many text runs, but things are what they are.
Reader/Xlsx/ChartTitleTest reads a spreadsheet with the captions stored as a RichText array. Since it performs array operations on something the DocBlock says cannot be an array, Scrutinizer objects, although not seriously enough to fail the module. Phpstan also objects; its objection is silenced with an annotation. Aside from this test, there are other tests which do set the caption to a string, and Excel seems to handle that without a problem. So, I have changed the DocBlock to specify `array|RichText|String`. I have dropped null as a possibility; nullstring will do equally well.
Because getCaption can now return multiple datatypes, I think a new function which can return the text portion of the entire caption as a single string is needed. I have added it. This simplifies the test named above, and some code in Writer/Html. The latter is not part of unit testing because the version of JpGraph found in Composer is too antiquated. I verified the Html change manually by running samples/Chart/32_Chart_read_write_HTML.php using a recent version of JpGraph. It was as a result of this test that I uncovered issue #2203. I did not see anything about Charts in docs, so did not add a description of the new function there.
Phpstan is happy with the changes. We'll see how Scrutinizer feels when I push it.
Because even if it doesn't make a difference in practice, it is
technically more correct to call static methods statically. It
also better advertise that those methods can be used from any context.
