Class HorizontalCategoryAxis

java.lang.Object
  com.jrefinery.chart.Axis
      com.jrefinery.chart.CategoryAxis
          com.jrefinery.chart.HorizontalCategoryAxis

All Implemented Interfaces:

AxisConstants, HorizontalAxis

public class HorizontalCategoryAxis
extends CategoryAxis
implements HorizontalAxis

A horizontal axis that displays categories. Used for bar charts and line charts.

Note: the axis needs to rely on the plot for assistance with the placement of category labels, since the plot controls how the categories are distributed.

Field Summary

protected boolean

verticalCategoryLabels A flag that indicates whether or not the category labels should be drawn vertically.
