Class Pyramid

java.lang.Object
  com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.galleries.Pyramid

All Implemented Interfaces:

IGallery

public class Pyramid
extends Object
implements IGallery

Provides access to the Pyramid gallery object.

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

Pyramid pyramid = (Pyramid) chart1.getGalleryAttributes();

The cast will fail if the gallery is not set to Pyramid.

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