Method Detail

setEnabled

public void setEnabled(boolean isEnabled)

Enables/disables grid.

Parameters:

isEnabled - A boolean value (true/false).

setColor

public void setColor(java.awt.Color color)

Sets grid color.

Parameters:

color - A Color object.

setVisibleLinesIndexes

public void setVisibleLinesIndexes(int[] visibleLinesIndexes)

Sets the indexes of the only grid lines to be displayed. The indexes range from 0 to the maximum number of lines displayed minus 1. If chart is vertical the lines indexes increase from top to bottom, and if chart is horizontal, from left to right.

Parameters:

visibleLinesIndexes - An array of integer numbers.

setStyle

public void setStyle(int style)

Sets the grid line style. A grid line can be solid or dashed. Default style is solid.

Parameters:

style - An integer value.

SOLID, DASHED

setDashSize

public void setDashSize(int dashSize)

Sets the size of a dash painted in a dashed grid line. Default value is 10 pixels.

Parameters:

dashSize - An integer value.

See Also:

setStyle(int), setDashSpace(int)

setDashSpace

public void setDashSpace(int dashSpace)

Sets the size of the space between consecutive dashes painted in a dashed grid line. Default value is 5 pixels.

Parameters:

dashSpace - An integer value.

See Also:

setStyle(int), setDashSize(int)

setThickness

public void setThickness(int thickness)

Sets the grid lines thickness. Default value is 1 pixel. This method only has effect if chart is 2D and the grid lines style is solid.

Parameters:

thickness - An integer value.

setColoredBandsEnabled

public void setColoredBandsEnabled(boolean isColoredBandsEnabled)

Enables/disables display of colored bands.
