Constructor Detail

XYLineChart

public XYLineChart()

Initializes a new XYLineChart instance with an empty data set.

XYLineChart

public XYLineChart(String title,
                   String XLabel,
                   String YLabel,
                   double[][]... data)

Initializes a new XYLineChart instance with sets of points data. title is a title, XLabel is a short description of the x-axis, and YLabel a short description of the y-axis. The input parameter data represents a set of plotting data.

For example, if one n-row matrix data1 is given as argument data, then the first row data1[0] represents the x-coordinate vector, and every other row data1 [i], i = 1,…, n - 1, represents a y-coordinate set for a curve. Therefore matrix data1[i][j], i = 0,…, n - 1, corresponds to n - 1 curves, all with the same x-coordinates.

However, one may want to plot several curves with different x-coordinates. In that case, one should give the curves as matrices with two rows. For examples, if the argument data is made of three 2-row matrices data1, data2 and data3, then they represents three different curves, data*[0] being the x-coordinates, and data*[1] the y-coordinates of the curves.

Parameters:

title - chart title.

XLabel - Label on x-axis.

YLabel - Label on y-axis.

data - series of point sets.

XYLineChart

public XYLineChart(String title,
                   String XLabel,
                   String YLabel,
                   double[][] data,
                   int numPoints)

Initializes a new XYLineChart instance with sets of points data. title is a title, XLabel is a short description of the x-axis, and YLabel a short description of the y-axis. If data is a n-row matrix, then the first row data[0] represents the x-coordinate vector, and every other row data [i], i = 1,…, n - 1, represents a y-coordinate set of points. Therefore matrix data[i][ ], i = 0,…, n - 1, corresponds to n - 1 curves, all with the same x-coordinates. However, only the first numPoints of data will be considered to plot each curve.

Parameters:

title - chart title.

XLabel - Label on x-axis.

YLabel - Label on y-axis.

data - series of point sets.

numPoints - Number of points to plot

XYLineChart

public XYLineChart(String title,
                   String XLabel,
                   String YLabel,
                   double[][] data,
                   int x,
                   int y)

Initializes a new XYLineChart instance using subsets of data. data[x][.] will form the x-coordinates and data[y][.] will form the y-coordinates of the chart. title sets a title, XLabel is a short description of the x-axis, and YLabel is a short description of the y-axis. Warning: if the new x-axis coordinates are not monotone increasing, then they will automatically be sorted in increasing order so the points will be reordered, but the original data is not changed.

Parameters:

title - chart title.

XLabel - Label on x-axis.

YLabel - Label on y-axis.

data - series of point sets.

x - Index of data forming the x-coordinates

y - Index of data forming the y-coordinates

                   String YLabel,
                   DoubleArrayList... data)

Initializes a new XYLineChart instance with data data. The input parameter data represents a set of plotting data. A DoubleArrayList from the Colt library is used to store the data. The description is similar to the constructor YListChart with double[]... data.

Parameters:

title - chart title.

XLabel - Label on x-axis.

YLabel - Label on y-axis.

data - series of point sets.

XLabel - Label on x-axis.

YLabel - Label on y-axis.

data - series collection.
