Class Radar

java.lang.Object
  com.softwarefx.chartfx.desktop.galleries.Radar

All Implemented Interfaces:

IGallery, Serializable

public class Radar
extends Object
implements IGallery, Serializable

Provides access to the Radar gallery object.

The properties of the Radar Class allow you to customize the visual attributes of a Radar or Polar chart. In order to make the supported members available, you must first set the gallery of the chart to Radar or Polar, and cast the Chart.setGalleryAttributes(com.softwarefx.chartfx.desktop.IGallery) property of the Chart to the Radar Class :

Radar radar = (Radar) chart1.getGalleryAttributes();

The cast will fail if the gallery is not set to Radar or Polar.

Once you have done this, using the newly created object you can assign these special attributes for the Radar or Polar gallery type in your chart.

setClockwise

public void setClockwise(boolean value)

Sets a value indicating to plot points in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.

Remarks:

When XValues are configured in a radar chart, the chart is actually converted to a Polar chart that supports XValues between 0 and 360.

The setShowLines(boolean) property allows you to show or hide the connecting lines between the points in a radar chart.

The setCircular(boolean) property is used to set a circular border for the radar chart.

The Chart.setGalleryAttributes(com.softwarefx.chartfx.desktop.IGallery) property of the Chart Class is used to access the GalleryAttributes object for a chart. The Radar object is a GalleryAttributes object.

setClosed

public void setClosed(boolean value)

Sets a value indicating whether or not to connect the first and last points in a radar chart.

Remarks:

By default this property is set to true. To create a radar chart with open ended series, set this property to false.

The setShowLines(boolean) property allows you to show or hide the connecting lines between the points in a radar chart.

The setCircular(boolean) property is used to set a circular border for the radar chart.

The Chart.setGalleryAttributes(com.softwarefx.chartfx.desktop.IGallery) property of the Chart Class is used to access the GalleryAttributes object for a chart. The Radar object is a GalleryAttributes object.
