Class ListProvider

java.lang.Object
  com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.dataproviders.ListProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:

IDataSource

public class ListProvider
extends Object
implements IDataSource

Provides access to the ListProvider object.

In many situations, the data is contained in a List, Collections or Arrays. Although you can use the Chart FX API to loop through array elements, read and populate the chart, you can do so in an easier way.

The ListProvider allows you to populate the chart from List and Arrays:

int[] valArray = {12, 15, 10, 7, 5};

ListProvider lstProvider = new ListProvider(valArray);

chart1.getDataSourceSettings().setDataSource(lstProvider);

You also load data from more than one array:

int[] series1 = {12, 15, 10};

int[] series2 = {20, 25, 7};

string[] labels = {"Yes", "No", "Don't know"};

ListProvider lstProvider = new ListProvider();

lstProvider.add(series1);

lstProvider.add(series2);

lstProvider.add(labels);

chart1.getDataSourceSettings().setDataSource(lstProvider);

Remarks:

Using this property, you will have access to add and remove items from the ListProvider. You will also have access to count, insert and copy items as well as other supported properties and methods.

This property is used to modify ListProvider objects. Once a ListProvider has been created, this property may be used to access methods used to populate and administer the data object.

Once the ListProvider object has been configured with the desired data, you may assign the object to the chart using the DataSourceSettings.setDataSource(com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.dataproviders.IDataSource) property.
