SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Annotation
Class AnnotationArrow

java.lang.Object
  SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Annotation.AnnotationObject
      SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Annotation.AnnotationArrow

public final class AnnotationArrow
extends AnnotationObject

Provides access to the AnnotationArrow object.

The AnnotationArrow Class allows you to create line and arrow annotation objects in your charts. The supported members allow you to set, for example, arrow head, tail size, style and width, to create a variety of different arrow shapes. Also, by configuring the arrow style as 'None', you can create line objects in your charts.

Below is an example of an annotation arrow object:

SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Annotation.AnnotationX annot = new SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Annotation.AnnotationX();

SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Annotation.AnnotationArrow arrow = new SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Annotation.AnnotationArrow();

annot.getList().add(arrow);

chart1.getExtensions().add(annot);

arrow.getBorder().setColor(java.awt.Color.RED);

arrow.getBorder().setWidth(4);

arrow.setHeight(-50);

arrow.setWidth(20);

arrow.attach(1.5, 70);

Note: Remember you can assign negative values to both the Width and Height properties. This will allow you to set the appropriate orientation to the arrows and lines you create in the chart area.
