Example: The following example creates a date time column series chart.
import com.cete.dynamicpdf.*; import com.cete.dynamicpdf.pageelements.charting.*; import com.cete.dynamicpdf.pageelements.charting.series.*; import java.util.Calendar; public class MyClass{ public static void main(String args[]){ // Create a PDF Document Document document = new Document(); // Create a Page and add it to the document Page page = new Page(); document.getPages().add(page); // Create a chart Chart chart = new Chart(0, 0, 400, 200); // Get the default plot area from the chart PlotArea plotArea = chart.getPrimaryPlotArea(); // Create header titles and add it to the chart Title title1 = new Title("Website Visitors"); Title title2 = new Title("Year - 2007"); chart.getHeaderTitles().add(title1); chart.getHeaderTitles().add(title2); Calendar p0=Calendar.getInstance(); p0.set(2007,0,1); Calendar p1=Calendar.getInstance(); p1.set(2007,1,1); Calendar p2=Calendar.getInstance(); p2.set(2007,2,1); Calendar p3=Calendar.getInstance(); p3.set(2007,3,1); // Create a date time column series and add values to it DateTimeColumnSeries seriesElement1 = new DateTimeColumnSeries("Website A"); seriesElement1.getValues().add(5, p0); seriesElement1.getValues().add(7, p1); seriesElement1.getValues().add(9, p2); seriesElement1.getValues().add(6, p3); DateTimeColumnSeries seriesElement2 = new DateTimeColumnSeries("Website B"); seriesElement2.getValues().add(4, p0); seriesElement2.getValues().add(2, p1); seriesElement2.getValues().add(5, p2); seriesElement2.getValues().add(8, p3); DateTimeColumnSeries seriesElement3 = new DateTimeColumnSeries("Website C"); seriesElement3.getValues().add(2, p0); seriesElement3.getValues().add(4, p1); seriesElement3.getValues().add(6, p2); seriesElement3.getValues().add(9, p3); // add date time Date time column series to plot area plotArea.getSeries().add(seriesElement1); plotArea.getSeries().add(seriesElement2); plotArea.getSeries().add(seriesElement3); // Create a title and add it to the yaxis Title title3 = new Title("Viewers (in millions)"); seriesElement1.getYAxis().getTitles().add(title3); // set label list format for the axislabels seriesElement1.getXAxis().setLabelFormat("MMM"); // Add the chart to the page page.getElements().add(chart); // Save the PDF document.draw("[PhysicalPath]/MyDocument.pdf" ); } }
