public class ChartComponent
extends Component

The top level component for displaying charts

The charts package enables Codename One developers to add charts and visualizations to their apps without having to include external libraries or embedding web views. We also wanted to harness the new features in the graphics pipeline to maximize performance.

Features

1. Built-in support for many common types of charts including bar charts, line charts, stacked charts, scatter charts, pie charts and more.
2. Pinch Zoom - The com.codename1.charts,ChartComponent class includes optional pinch zoom support.
3. Panning Support - The com.codename1.charts,ChartComponent class includes optional support for panning.

Chart Types

The com.codename1.charts package includes models and renderers for many different types of charts. It is also extensible so that you can add your own chart types if required. The following screen shots demonstrate a small sampling of the types of charts that can be created.

The above screenshots were taken from the ChartsDemo app. Y ou can start playing with this app by checking it out from our git repository.

How to Create A Chart

Adding a chart to your app involves four steps:

1. Build the model. You can construct a model (aka data set) for the chart using one of the existing model classes in the com.codename1.charts.models package. Essentially, this is just where you add the data that you want to display.
2. Set up a renderer. You can create a renderer for your chart using one of the existing renderer classes in the com.codename1.charts.renderers package. The renderer allows you to specify how the chart should look. E.g. the colors, fonts, styles, to use.
3. Create the Chart View. Use one of the existing view classes in the com.codename1.charts.views package.
4. Create a com.codename1.charts,ChartComponent . In order to add your chart to the UI, you need to wrap it in a com.codename1.charts,ChartComponent object.

You can check out the ChartsDemo app for specific examples, but here is a high level view of some code that creates a Pie Chart.

The charts package is derived work from the excellent open source aChartEngine API.

Overrides:

pointerPressed in class Component

Parameters:

x - the pointer x coordinate

y - the pointer y coordinate

seriesPressed

protected void seriesPressed(SeriesSelection sel)

Called when a pointer is pressed on a series in the chart. This can be overridden by subclasses to respond to this event.

getTransform

public Transform getTransform()

Gets the transform for the chart. This can be used to scale, translate, and rotate the chart. This transform assumes its origin at the (absoluteX, absoluteY) of the component at the time it is drawn rather than the screen's origin as is normally the case with transforms. This allows the transform to be applied consistently with respect to the chart's coordinates even when the component is moved around the screen.

Returns:

The transform for the chart in component coordinates.
