How to use IronPython in Spotfire® to render image from an URL on the X-axis

Introduction

This example illustrates how to use ironpython to change the X axis "Label rendering" in a visualization to render image from an URL.

Note - SetLevelSettings feature will only have effect on the following axes: Bar chart x axis, Line chart x axis, Combination Chart x axis, Scatter plot x and y axes and Heat map x and y axes, and Cross Table horizontal and vertical axes. For the Cross Table the size can not be set via this API. Instead use the setters for cell and header size avaiable on the Cross Table plot itself. For the case when the axis can be both continuous and categorical, the feature will only have effect when the axis is in categorical mode.

myVis.XAxis.ScaleLabels.SetLevelSettings("Region", ValueRendererTypeIdentifiers.ImageFromUrlRenderer);
mySettings = myVis.XAxis.ScaleLabels["Region"].RendererSettings;
mySettings.UrlTemplate="https://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery3/2.png""

myVis - script parameter referring to a BarChart visualization with "Region" set on the Categorical axis
