com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.annotation
Class AnnotationGroup

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

public class AnnotationGroup
extends AnnotationObject
extends AnnotationObject

Provides access to the AnnotationGroup object.

The AnnotationGroup Class allows you to group individual annotation objects together. Because the group object exposes all the common properties, you can change visual attributes of objects in a group with just one property call. For example, if you create a group of 10 circles, you can change the background color of all circles by invoking the AnnotationObject.setColor(java.awt.Color) property. The AnnotationListBase Class exposes members that allow you to AnnotationListBase.add(com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.annotation.AnnotationObject), AnnotationListBase.remove(com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.annotation.AnnotationObject) and Count objects in a group.

To create a group, first create an annotation extension object. Once you have created and added the extension object to your application you may begin creating the individual objects to be included in the group and the group object itself. Once you have created all the objects, you must add the individual objects to the group and the group to the annotation list.

Below is an example of creating a group of 3 circles:

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

chart1.getExtensions().add(annot);

com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.annotation.AnnotationCircle circle1 = new com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.annotation.AnnotationCircle();

circle1.setHeight(30);

circle1.setWidth(30);

circle1.getBorder().setColor(java.awt.Color.black);

circle1.attach(1, 50);

com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.annotation.AnnotationCircle circle2 = new com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.annotation.AnnotationCircle();

circle2.setHeight(30);

circle2.setWidth(30);

circle2.getBorder().setColor(java.awt.Color.black);

circle2.attach(2, 50);

com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.annotation.AnnotationCircle circle3 = new com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.annotation.AnnotationCircle();

circle3.setHeight(30);

circle3.setWidth(30);

circle3.getBorder().setColor(java.awt.Color.black);

circle3.attach(3, 50);

com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.annotation.AnnotationGroup group = new com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.annotation.AnnotationGroup();

annot.getList().add(group);

group.getList().add(circle1);

group.getList().add(circle2);

group.getList().add(circle3);

group.setColor(java.awt.Color.yellow);

group.recalcBounds();
