Commands

Every change to a chart or a diagram is a Command. Each Command is described on the page of its topic; this page lists them all.

Pro ExtensionAlphaPilot program

editor.commands.updateChartSpec({ spec: { type: 'area', stacked: true } })
editor.chain().focus().insertDiagramInput({ type: 'pie' }).run()

How every Command behaves

With pos a Command acts on the chart or diagram at that position.
Without pos it acts on the selected one.
With nothing to act on it returns false and changes nothing.
Reading never needs a Command. The readers are on editor.storage.diagrams.
