applyPatches invalid parameters

[rbartley]

Hi all,

I'm getting an invalid parameter error when trying to use applyPatches on a barchart to change the orientation

The current properties are:

{
  "qInfo": {
    "qId": "sBJftb",
    "qType": "barchart"
  },
...
  "orientation": "vertical",
  "scrollStartPos": 0,
...
 
  "visualization": "barchart",
  "masterVersion": 0.96
}

And I'm using 

app.visualization.get(vizID).then(viz => {
			model=viz.model;
			model.applyPatches( [{
			  qPath: '/layout/orientation',
			  qOp: 'replace',
			  qValue: 'horizontal'
			}], false );
		})

I've tried qPath without the 'layout'  and without the forward slashes, but I always get the same response.  Any ideas?  

Cheers,

Richard

I managed to solve this by using vis.setOptions instead:

app.visualization.get(vizID).then(viz => {
    		viz.setOptions({orientation:"horizontal"});
			
		})

Perhaps applyPatches cannot be used for this purpose.
