Class AnnotationArrow

java.lang.Object
  com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.annotation.AnnotationObject
      com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.annotation.AnnotationArrow

public 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 selected arrow head and 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:

com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.annotation.Annotations annot = new com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.annotation.Annotations();

com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.annotation.AnnotationArrow arrow = new com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.annotation.AnnotationArrow();

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

arrow.getBorder().setWidth(4);

arrow.setHeight(55);

arrow.setWidth(-35);

arrow.attach(2, 35);

annot.getList().add(arrow);

chart1.getExtensions().add(annot);

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.
