info

protected ChartRenderingInfo info

Local copy of the info reference.

toolTipGenerator

protected com.jrefinery.chart.tooltips.CategoryToolTipGenerator toolTipGenerator

The tooltip generator.

Constructor Detail

AbstractCategoryItemRenderer

protected AbstractCategoryItemRenderer()

Default constructor, creates a renderer with a standard tool tip generator.

AbstractCategoryItemRenderer

protected AbstractCategoryItemRenderer(com.jrefinery.chart.tooltips.CategoryToolTipGenerator toolTipGenerator)

Constructs a new renderer with the specified tooltip generator.

Parameters:

toolTipGenerator - The tool tip generator.

Method Detail

getToolTipGenerator

public com.jrefinery.chart.tooltips.CategoryToolTipGenerator getToolTipGenerator()

Returns the tool tip generator.

Returns:

The tool tip generator.

setToolTipGenerator

public void setToolTipGenerator(com.jrefinery.chart.tooltips.CategoryToolTipGenerator toolTipGenerator)

Sets the tool tip generator.

Parameters:

toolTipGenerator - The tool tip generator.

initialise

public void initialise(java.awt.Graphics2D g2,
                       java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D dataArea,
                       CategoryPlot plot,
                       CategoryDataset data,
                       ChartRenderingInfo info)

Initialises the renderer.

This method gets called once each time the chart is drawn, and provides the renderer an opportunity to initialise itself. The default implementation just stores a reference to the ChartRenderingInfo object (which might be null).

Specified by:

initialise in interface CategoryItemRenderer

Parameters:

g2 - The graphics device.

dataArea - The data area.

plot - The plot.

data - The data.

info - An object for returning information about the structure of the chart.

isStacked

public boolean isStacked()

Returns a flag indicating whether the items within one category are stacked up when represented by the renderer.

Specified by:

isStacked in interface CategoryItemRenderer

Returns:

The flag.

getAxisArea

public java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D getAxisArea(java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D plotArea)

Returns the area that the axes (and date) must fit into.

Often this is the same as the plotArea, but sometimes a smaller region should be used (for example, the 3D charts require the axes to use less space in order to leave room for the 'depth' part of the chart).

Specified by:

getAxisArea in interface CategoryItemRenderer

Parameters:

plotArea - The plot area.

getDataClipRegion

public java.awt.Shape getDataClipRegion(java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D dataArea)

Returns the clip region...usually returns the dataArea, but some charts (e.g. 3D) have non rectangular clip regions.

Specified by:

getDataClipRegion in interface CategoryItemRenderer

Parameters:

dataArea - The data area.

drawPlotBackground

public void drawPlotBackground(java.awt.Graphics2D g2,
                               CategoryPlot plot,
                               java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D axisDataArea,
                               java.awt.Shape dataClipRegion)

Draws the background for the plot.

For most charts, the axisDataArea and the dataClipArea are the same.

Specified by:

drawPlotBackground in interface CategoryItemRenderer

Parameters:

g2 - The graphics device.

plot - The plot.

axisDataArea - The area inside the axes.

dataClipArea - The data clip area.
