Vue TreeMap Methods

This section describes methods that can be called to manipulate the TreeMap widget.

See Also

beginUpdate()

Prevents the widget from refreshing until the endUpdate() method is called.

The beginUpdate() and endUpdate() methods prevent the widget from excessive updates when you are changing multiple widget settings at once. After the beginUpdate() method is called, the widget does not update its UI until the endUpdate() method is called.

See Also

clearSelection()

Deselects all nodes in the widget.

To deselect a particular node, call its select(state) method.

dispose()

Disposes of all the resources allocated to the TreeMap instance.

After calling this method, remove the DOM element associated with the widget:

JavaScript
$("#myTreeMap").dxTreeMap("dispose");
$("#myTreeMap").remove();

Use this method only if the widget was created with jQuery or pure JavaScript. In Angular, Vue, and React, use conditional rendering:

Angular
app.component.html
<dx-tree-map ...
    *ngIf="condition">
</dx-tree-map>
Vue
App.vue
<template>
    <DxTreeMap ...
        v-if="condition">
    </DxTreeMap>
</template>

<script>
import DxTreeMap from 'devextreme-vue/tree-map';

export default {
    components: {
        DxTreeMap
    }
}
</script>
React
App.js
import React from 'react';

import TreeMap from 'devextreme-react/tree-map';

function DxTreeMap(props) {
    if (!props.shouldRender) {
        return null;
    }

    return (
        <TreeMap ... >    
        </TreeMap>
    );
}

class App extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <DxTreeMap shouldRender="condition" />
        );
    }
}
export default App;

To learn how to implement the drill down functionality, see the drillDown() method description.

Parameters:
fileName:

String

The name of the file to which the widget is about to be exported.

String

The file's format. One of 'PNG', 'PDF', 'JPEG', 'SVG' and 'GIF'.

getCurrentNode()

Gets the current node.

Return Value:

TreeMap Node

The Node object.

NOTE
If the drill down feature is not implemented, this method returns the root node.
See Also

getDataSource()

Gets the DataSource instance.

Return Value:

DataSource

The DataSource instance.

getInstance(element)

Gets the instance of a widget found using its DOM node.

Parameters:
element:

DOM Node

|

jQuery

The widget's container.

Return Value:

Object

The widget's instance.

getInstance is a static method that the widget class supports. The following code demonstrates how to get the TreeMap instance found in an element with the myTreeMap ID:

// Modular approach
import TreeMap from "devextreme/viz/tree_map";
...
let element = document.getElementById("myTreeMap");
let instance = TreeMap.getInstance(element) as TreeMap;

// Non-modular approach
let element = document.getElementById("myTreeMap");
let instance = DevExpress.viz.dxTreeMap.getInstance(element);

getRootNode()

Gets the root node.

Return Value:

TreeMap Node

The root node; described in the Node section.

getSize()

Gets the current widget size.

Return Value:

Size

The current widget size.

Returns an object with the following fields.
