Class DataSourceSettings

java.lang.Object

com.softwarefx.server.data.DataConsumer

com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.DataSourceSettings

public final class DataSourceSettings
extends com.softwarefx.server.data.DataConsumer

Provides customization on how the data is databound to the chart.

One of the greatest features in Chart FX is the ability to read or pass data from many sources, including text files, arrays, collections, XML files, etc. The DataSourceSettings class provides the mechanism for configuring your data source and control how Chart FX stores and plots the data.

Method Detail

getDataSource

public com.softwarefx.server.data.IDataSourceProvider getDataSource()

Gets or sets the source containing the values used to populate the chart.

Once the DataSource has been configured using this method, the chart is automatically bound to the data.

This method has a shortcut called setChartDataSource method and defined in the Chart class.

When reading data from text files, you will need to create the TextProvider object and use that as the DataSource:

• Java

• TextProvider txtProvider;
  txtProvider = new TextProvider();
  chart1.getDataSourceSettings().setDataSource(new TextProvider("TextFile.txt"));
  txtProvider.Close();
  

When reading data from arrays, you will need to create the ListProvider object and use that as the DataSource:

• Java

• int[] values;
  values = new int[] {12, 15, 10, 7, 5};
  ListProvider lstProvider;
  lstProvider = new ListProvider(((SfxNET.System.Collections.IList)SfxNET.System.Array.Set_System_Int32_Array(values)));
  chart1.getDataSourceSettings().setDataSource(lstProvider);
  

To assign the DataSource to the Chart:

• Java

• chart1.getDataSourceSettings().setDataSource(DataSet1.getTables());
  

setDataSource

public void setDataSource(com.softwarefx.server.data.IDataSourceProvider value)

Gets or sets the source containing the values used to populate the chart.

Once the DataSource has been configured using this method, the chart is automatically bound to the data.

This method has a shortcut called setChartDataSource method and defined in the Chart class.

When reading data from text files, you will need to create the TextProvider object and use that as the DataSource:

• Java

• TextProvider txtProvider;
  txtProvider = new TextProvider();
  chart1.getDataSourceSettings().setDataSource(new TextProvider("TextFile.txt"));
  txtProvider.Close();
  

When reading data from arrays, you will need to create the ListProvider object and use that as the DataSource:

• Java

• int[] values;
  values = new int[] {12, 15, 10, 7, 5};
  ListProvider lstProvider;
  lstProvider = new ListProvider(((SfxNET.System.Collections.IList)SfxNET.System.Array.Set_System_Int32_Array(values)));
  chart1.getDataSourceSettings().setDataSource(lstProvider);
  

To assign the DataSource to the Chart:

• Java

• chart1.getDataSourceSettings().setDataSource(DataSet1.getTables());
  

Parameters:

value -
