Constructor Detail

Chart

public Chart()

This is the root of our tree, it has no parent. This creates the Chart with a null component

Chart

public Chart(Component component)

This is the root of our tree, it has no parent. This creates the Chart with the named component

Parameters:

component - the Component that contains the chart.

Chart

public Chart(Image image)

This is the root of our tree, it has no parent. This creates the Chart drawn into the image.

Parameters:

image - the Image into which the chart is to be drawn.

Method Detail

addLegendItem

public void addLegendItem(int type,
                          ChartNode node)

Adds a legend to this ChartNode

Parameters:

type - an int which specifies the LegendItem type. 0 = DATA_TYPE_NONE; 1 = DATA_TYPE_LINE; 2 = DATA_TYPE_MARKER; 3 = DATA_TYPE_FILL

node - the ChartNode object to which this legend is to be added

addMouseListener

public void addMouseListener(MouseListener listener)

Adds a MouseListener to the component associated with this chart. If the component is null the listener will be saved and added to the component when it is assigned.

See Also:

setComponent(java.awt.Component)

addMouseMotionListener

public void addMouseMotionListener(MouseMotionListener listener)

Adds a MouseMotionListener to the component associated with this chart. If the component is null the listener will be saved and added to the component when it is assigned.

See Also:

setComponent(java.awt.Component)

clone

public Object clone()

Returns a clone of the graphics tree.

Returns:

an Object which is a clone of this graphics tree

clone

protected Object clone(Map hashClonedNode)

Returns a clone of this node.

Overrides:

clone in class AbstractChartNode

Parameters:

hashClonedNode - the Hashtable to be cloned

Returns:

an Object which is a clone of this node

copy

public void copy()

Copy the chart to the clipboard.

finalize

protected void finalize()

paint

public void paint(Draw draw)

Paints this node and all of its children.

Specified by:

paint in class ChartNode

Parameters:

draw - a Draw object to be painted

paint

public void paint(Graphics g)

Paints this node and all of its children. This should be called whenever the paint member function in the Component used in this object's constructor is called.

Parameters:

g - Graphics object to be painted

paintChart

public void paintChart(Graphics graphics)

Draw the chart using the given Graphics object.

Parameters:

graphics - is the object for which the chart is to be drawn.

paintImage

public Image paintImage()

Returns an Image of the chart.

Returns:

an Image containing a picture of the chart. Call flush() on the image when it is no longer needed.

pick

public void pick(MouseEvent event)

Fire the PickListeners for the nodes hit by the event.

Parameters:

event - MouseEvent/code whose position determines which nodes have been selected

print

public int print(Graphics graphics,
                 PageFormat pageFormat,
                 int param)
          throws PrinterException

This method implements the Printable interface. It prints the chart on a single page. The output is scaled to fill the page as much as possible while preserving the aspect ratio.

Specified by:

print in interface Printable

Throws:

PrinterException

See Also:

Printable

repaint

public void repaint()

Prepares the chart to be repainted by deleting any double buffering image.

setComponent

public void setComponent(Component component)

Sets the Component for this chart. Also registers MouseListeners or MouseMotionListeners that could not be added previously.

See Also:

addMouseListener(java.awt.event.MouseListener), addMouseMotionListener(java.awt.event.MouseMotionListener)

update

public void update(Graphics g)

writePNG

public void writePNG(OutputStream os,
                     int width,
                     int height)
              throws IOException

Writes the chart as an PNG file. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless bitmap format. This method requires either J2SE 1.4 or later Java Advanced Imaging Toolkit.

Parameters:

os - is the output stream to which the PNG image is to be written.

width - is the width of the output image.

height - is the height of the output image.

Throws:

IOException - if there is a problem writing the image to the stream.

NoClassDefFoundError - if an older version of J2SE is used and the Java Advanced Imaging Toolkit cannot be found.

writeSVG

public void writeSVG(Writer writer,
                     boolean useCSS)
              throws IOException

Writes the chart as an SVG file. This method requires the Apache Batik library.

Parameters:

writer - is the output character stream

useCSS - is true if the CSS style attribute is to be used

Throws:

IOException - if there is a problem writing the file.

NoClassDefFoundError - if the Batik library cannot be found.
