Area (Chart FX for Java 8.0 API Specification)

java.lang.Object
- com.softwarefx.chartfx.server.galleries.Area

All Implemented Interfaces:: IExtension, IGallery

public final class Area
extends java.lang.Object
implements IExtension, IGallery

Provides access to the Area gallery object.

Area charts are essentially bar charts with the discontinuous breaks removed along the horizontal axis. Data is not broken into discrete bars but appears in a continuous ebb and flow as defined against the Y axis. Consequently, area charts are particularly useful for emphasizing the magnitude of change over time. In addition, area charts can be used for the same purposes as bar charts.

The methods of the Area class allow you to customize the visual attributes of an Area chart. In order to make the supported members available, you must first set the gallery of the chart to Area, and cast the setGalleryAttributes method of the Chart to the Area class:

Java

chart1.setGallery(Gallery.AREA);
Area area;
area = ((Area)chart1.getGalleryAttributes());

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

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