Method Detail

setDateLabelsFormat

public void setDateLabelsFormat(java.lang.String dateFormat)

Sets the format style of the date labels displayed. The horizontal scale of a date graph shows timestamps, and the format style can be changed passing to this method a sequence of pattern characters, as specified for the class java.text.SimpleDateFormat.
If the format style is not informed or null is passed, timestamps are formatted using the SHORT style of the class java.text.DateFormat, for both date and time.
This method only has effect if date graph is enabled and the format of date labels has not been informed with the overloaded form that takes a DateFormat object. It is only applicable to scatter charts.

Parameters:: dateFormat - A String object.
See Also:: ScatterGraph.setDateGraphEnabled(boolean), setDateLabels(java.lang.String[])

setDateLabelsFormat

public void setDateLabelsFormat(java.text.DateFormat dateFormat)

Sets the format style of the date labels displayed. This method takes a DateFormat object to specify the format style of timestamp labels displayed by the horizontal scale of a date graph. It takes precedence over similar method that takes a string pattern to specify the format style.
If a DateFormat object is not informed or null is passed, timestamps are formatted using the DateFormat.SHORT style for both date and time.
This method only has effect if date graph is enabled, and is only applicable to scatter charts.

Parameters:: dateFormat - A String object.
See Also:: ScatterGraph.setDateGraphEnabled(boolean), setDateLabels(java.lang.String[])

setDateFormat

public void setDateFormat(java.lang.String dateFormat)

Sets the expected format style of the labels, start and end dates of a date/time graph's scale. This method takes a user-defined date/time format string as a sequence of pattern letters, as specified for the java.text.SimpleDateFormat class, to parse timestamps into milliseconds, which are used to calculate the positions of date labels, start and end dates within the horizontal scale range.

By default, the expected date format corresponds to the localized SHORT style of class java.text.DateFormat for both date and time. A parsing exception is raised if the labels and start/end dates format does not match the expected format style.
This method only has effect if date graph is enabled, and is only applicable to scatter charts.

Parameters:: dateFormat - A String object.
See Also:: setStartDate(java.lang.String), setEndDate(java.lang.String), setDateLabels(java.lang.String[])

setDateFormat

public void setDateFormat(java.text.DateFormat dateFormat)

Sets the expected format style of the labels, start and end dates of a date/time graph's scale. This method takes a DateFormat object to parse timestamps into milliseconds, which are used to calculate the positions of date labels, start and end dates within the scale range. It takes precedence over similar method that takes a date/time pattern string.
The format style corresponds to the date/time constants provided by the DateFormat class, as SHORT, MEDIUM, etc. The expected format is the one provided by the DateFormat object taken by this method, or any format provided by subclasses of DateFormat, as SimpleDateFormat, which implements the method applyPattern(String pattern) to specify a more complex format.
By default, the expected date format corresponds to the localized SHORT style of class java.text.DateFormat for both date and time. A parsing exception is raised if the labels and start/end dates format do not match the expected format.
This method only has effect if date graph is enabled, and is only applicable to scatter charts.

Parameters:: dateFormat - A DateFormat object.
See Also:: setStartDate(java.lang.String), setEndDate(java.lang.String), setDateLabels(java.lang.String[])

setDateLabels

public void setDateLabels(java.lang.String[] dateLabels)

Customizes date labels. The format of the customized date labels must match the format style specified with either forms of the method setDateFormat. If the date format style is not specified the date labels are parsed using the SHORT style of the java.text.DateFormat class, both for date and time.
A parsing exception is raised if the date labels format doesn't match the expected format style.
This method only has effect if date graph is enabled and this scale is not automatic. It is only applicable to scatter charts.

Parameters:: dateLabels - An array of string objects
See Also:: setAutoScaleEnabled(boolean), setDateFormat(java.lang.String)

setStartDate

public void setStartDate(java.lang.String startDate)

Sets the start date of this scale, as a date/time pattern string. The start date is parsed into a milliseconds value, which is used to calculate the start date position within the horizontal scale range. If date graph is enabled and a minimum scale value is informed with the method setMinValue, this value is replaced by the start date after the conversion to milliseconds.
The date format of the string taken by this method must be specified with either forms of the method setDateFormat.
This method only has effect if a date graph is enabled, and is only applicable to scatter charts.
A parsing exception is raised if the start date format doesn't match the expected format style.

Parameters:: startDate - A String object.
See Also:: ScatterGraph.setDateGraphEnabled(boolean), setMinValue(double), setAutoScaleEnabled(boolean), setDateFormat(java.lang.String)

setEndDate

public void setEndDate(java.lang.String endDate)

Sets the end date of this scale, as a date/time pattern string. The end date is parsed into a milliseconds value, which is used to calculate the end date position within the horizontal scale range. If date graph is enabled and a maximum scale value is informed with the method setMaxValue, this value is replaced by the end date after the conversion to milliseconds.
The date format of the strings taken by this method must be specified with either forms of the method setDateFormat.
This method only has effect if a date graph is enabled, and is only applicable to scatter charts.
A parsing exception is raised if the end date format doesn't match the expected format style.

Parameters:: endDate - A String object.
See Also:: ScatterGraph.setDateGraphEnabled(boolean), setMaxValue(double), setAutoScaleEnabled(boolean), setDateFormat(java.lang.String)

setMonthIncrementEnabled

public void setMonthIncrementEnabled(boolean isMonthIncrementEnabled)

Enables/disables month increments in a date/time graph. If enabled, the only scale labels displayed are those corresponding to a specific day of a month. By default, the day of a month is 1, unlesss a different value is passed to the method setDayOfMonthIncrement.
For instance, a scale ranging from Sept 09, 2003 to Apr 10, 2004 displays the labels corresponding to October 01,November 01,December 01 and so on, until Apr 01, 2004 is reached.
This method only has effect if date graph is enabled and is only applicable to scatter charts. Either an automatic or a manual scale supports this feature. However, the labels of an automatic scale with month increments enabled might overlap each other if the graph area is not large enough.
This method is also ignored if at least one of the following conditions is observed, in priority order:

The scale is not automatic and date labels are informed with the method setDateLabels.
A year increment is enabled with the method setYearIncrementEnabled.

Parameters:: isMonthIncrementEnabled - A boolean value(true/false).
See Also:: setDayOfMonthIncrement(int), ScatterGraph.setDateGraphEnabled(boolean), setDateLabels(java.lang.String[]), setAutoScaleEnabled(boolean)

setDayOfMonthIncrement

public void setDayOfMonthIncrement(int dayOfMonthIncrement)

Sets the day of a month increment. The only scale labels displayed are those corresponding to this value. For instance, if the day is 4 and a scale ranges from Sept 09,2003 to Apr 10,2004, the labels displayed are Oct 04 2003, Nov 04 2003, Dec 04 2003 and so on, until Apr 04 2004 is reached.
This method only has effect if date graph is enabled and month increment is enabled. It is only applicable to scatter charts.

Parameters:: dayOfMonthIncrement - An integer value equal to or greater than 1.
See Also:: setMonthIncrementEnabled(boolean), ScatterGraph.setDateGraphEnabled(boolean)

setYearIncrementEnabled

public void setYearIncrementEnabled(boolean isYearIncrementEnabled)

Enables/disables year increments in a date/time graph. If enabled, the only scale labels displayed are those corresponding to a specific month. By default, the month is 1(January), unless a different value is passed to the method setMonthOfYearIncrement. For instance, a scale ranging from Sept 09, 2003 to Apr 10, 2008 displays the labels corresponding to January 2004, January 2005 and so on, until January 2008 is reached.
This method only has effect if date graph is enabled, and it is only applicable to scatter charts. Either an automatic or a manual scale supports this feature. However, the labels of an automatic scale with year increments enabled might overlap each other if the graph area is not large enough.
This method is also ignored if a scale is not automatic and date labels are informed with the method setDateLabels.

Parameters:: isYearIncrementEnabled - A boolean value(true/false).
See Also:: setMonthOfYearIncrement(int), ScatterGraph.setDateGraphEnabled(boolean), setDateLabels(java.lang.String[]), setAutoScaleEnabled(boolean)

setMonthOfYearIncrement

public void setMonthOfYearIncrement(int monthOfYearIncrement)

This method only has effect if date graph is enabled and year increment is enabled. It is only applicable to scatter charts.

Parameters:: monthOfYearIncrement - An integer value ranging from 1 to 12.
See Also:: setYearIncrementEnabled(boolean), ScatterGraph.setDateGraphEnabled(boolean)

setLogEnabled

public void setLogEnabled(boolean isLogEnabled)

Enables/disables a logarithmic scale. A logarithmic scale increment is based on multiplication rather than addition, as in a linear scale. It allows examination of values that span many orders of magnitude, and has application in various fields, like astronomy, sound level analysis, stock market analysis, and others.
A logarithmic scale increases exponentially, by raising the log base value sequentially, starting with exponent 0. For example, a logarithmic scale of base 10 is increased as follows:
1,10,100,1000,10000, and so on.
If the automatic scale flag is enabled, this method is ignored and a linear scale is displayed instead. A logarithmic scale is always manual and only supports values greater than or equal to 1. An exception is raised if any series plotted against a logarithmic scale has values smaller than 1.

Parameters:: isLogEnabled - A boolean value(true/false).
See Also:: setLogBase(int), setLogIncrementEnabled(boolean), setAutoScaleEnabled(boolean)

setLogBase

public void setLogBase(int logBase)

Sets the logarithmic scale base. The base number is used to set the magnitude of a logarithmic scale. It is sequentially raised to exponents that usually start at 0 and increase linearly, until the resulting value reaches the maximum scale value. For example, the numbers below make up a logarithmic sequence of base 10 raised to exponents ranging from 0 to 4:
1,10,100,1000,10000.
The logarithmic scale base is 10, by default. It must always be a positive number greater than 2, otherwise it defaults to 10.

Parameters:: logBase - An integer number.
See Also:: setLogEnabled(boolean), setLogIncrementEnabled(boolean), setMaxValue(double), setMinValue(double), setIncrement(double)

setLogIncrementEnabled

public void setLogIncrementEnabled(boolean isLogIncrementEnabled)

Enables/disables display of logarithmic values on a logarithmic scale. If enabled, scale values are sequentially calculated raising the log base to exponents that usually start at 0 and increase linearly. Valid values are those within the range delimited by the minimum and maximum scale values.
If log increment is enabled, the distance between ticks is constant. If disabled, the distance decreases in a logarithmic rate. Logarithmic increment is enabled by default.

Parameters:: isLogIncrementEnabled - A boolean value(true/false).
See Also:: setLogEnabled(boolean), setLogBase(int), setMaxValue(double), setMinValue(double), setIncrement(double)

setInnerLogTicksEnabled

public void setInnerLogTicksEnabled(boolean isInnerLogTicksEnabled)

For instance, if the starting point is set to 0.5 , the scale starts at the middle point of the vertical axis. The starting point value must not be greater than the end point. This method only has effect with charts generated with the Graph class.

Parameters:: startPoint - A float number ranging from 0 to 1.
See Also:: setEndPoint(float), Graph

setEndPoint

public void setEndPoint(float endPoint)

Sets scale end point. The end point is a fraction of the vertical axis extension, ranging from 0 to 1. For instance, if the end point is set to 0.5, the scale ends at the middle point of the vertical axis. The end point value must not be smaller than the starting point. This method only has effect with charts generated with the Graph class.

Parameters:: endPoint - A float number ranging from 0 to 1.
See Also:: setStartPoint(float), Graph

setLabels

public void setLabels(java.lang.String[] labels)

setPosition

public void setPosition(int position)

Deprecated.

This method is deprecated. Use setVPosition instead.

setVPosition

public void setVPosition(int vPosition)

Sets vertical scale position. The following rules apply to vertical scales:

Charts generated with classes Graph and ScatterGraph does not support scales centered along a vertical axis. Setting the vertical position to CENTER with these types of charts automatically resets position to LEFT.
Charts generated with class PolarGraph only supports vertical scales placed to the left of or centered on the vertical axis. Setting the vertical position to a constant other than CENTER automatically resets position to LEFT.

setHPosition

public void setHPosition(int hPosition)

Sets horizontal scale position. Has no effect with polar charts. Polar charts automatically resets the scale horizontal position to BOTTOM.

Parameters:: hPosition - One of the constants used to set a horizontal scale position.

setAutoAdjustmentEnabled

public void setAutoAdjustmentEnabled(boolean isAutoAdjustmentEnabled)

Enables/disables automatic adjustment of the max and min scale values. If enabled, the max and min scale values are adjusted as described below:

The maximum scale value is the largest value between the maximum value informed with the method Scale.setMaxValue and the maximum value of all series plotted against this scale object.
The minimum scale value is the smallest value between the minimum value informed with the method Scale.setMinValue and the minimum value of all series plotted against this scale object.

Automatic adjustment of the max and min scale values is disabled by default.

Parameters:: isAutoAdjustmentEnabled -
See Also:: setMaxValue(double), setMinValue(double)

setMaxValue

public void setMaxValue(double maxValue)

Sets the scale maximum value. Has no effect if automatic scale adjustment is enabled and the maximum value is smaller than the largest value of all series
