Class WCartesian3DChart


public class WCartesian3DChart
extends WGLWidget
A 3D Cartesian chart.

The chart consists of a plotcube, which is always open on the front, and adapts to the data which is shown on the chart. The plotcube has three axes of type WAxis. Each of these can be manually configured as in the 2D case. The chart can be either a ScatterPlot or a CategoryChart. This influences how the data is positioned in relation to the x/y-axis. Gridlines can also be drawn on each of the plotcube-planes. The chart has a mouse-handler which allows rotation of the chart around the center of the plotcube. Zooming in and out is possible by scrolling.

Data that can be shown on the chart derives from WAbstractDataSeries3D. Multiple dataseries can be added to the chart using addDataSeries(). The color of the dataseries is by default determined by the colors of the WChartPalette. This way a separate color is assigned to each new dataseries. All rendering logic of the data is contained in the dataseries-classes and further styling is often possible there. For example, a WAbstractColorMap can be added to a dataseries, which will assign a color to datapoints based on their z-value. More information on this is found in the documentation of WAbstractDataSeries3D.

It is possible to assign a title to the chart. A legend can also be shown that lists the titles of all dataseries (unless disabled in the dataseries itself). The legend position and style can be configured. In addition to title and legend, a colormap-legend is shown for every dataseries which has a colormap enabled and indicates that it should be displayed on the chart.

A scatterplot on the left, a category-chart on the right.

    • remove

      public void remove()
      Destructor.
      Overrides:
      remove in class WGLWidget

    • addDataSeries

      public void addDataSeries​(WAbstractDataSeries3D dataseries)
      Add a dataseries to the chart.

      Ownership of the dataseries is transferred to the chart.

      If the chart is of type ScatterPlot only numerical dataseries should be added and if it is of type CategoryChart only categorical dataseries should be added. If multiple categorical datasets are added, the axis-labels of the first dataseries will be used on the chart.

      Note that a dataseries can only be added once.

    • initLayout

      public void initLayout()

      This method must be called before any methods relating to the layout of the chart are called (eg. calling minimum() or maximum() on one of the axes). The method is also automatically called when the chart is rendered.

    • setCameraMatrix

      public void setCameraMatrix​(javax.vecmath.Matrix4f matrix)
      Set the camera-matrix.

      The viewpoint can be set with the camera-matrix. The chart is defined in the world coordinate system as a cube with axes from 0 to 1 in all three directions. Therefore the center of the cube is positioned at (0.5, 0.5, 0.5). The camera can be most easily position with the lookAt method of WMatrix4x4. A common use-case when manipulating the matrix is to translate the center to the origin and then rotate.

    • getCameraMatrix

      public javax.vecmath.Matrix4f getCameraMatrix()
      Get the current camera-matrix.

      The matrix represents the current view on the scene. It corresponds to a coordinate system where the chart's axes run from 0 to 1 in all three directions.

    • resize

      public void resize​(WLength width, WLength height)
      Description copied from class: WWidget
      Resizes the widget.

      Specifies a fixed size for this widget, setting CSS width and height properties. By default a widget has automatic width and height, which sets a size for the widget following CSS rules.

      When the widget is not managed by a layout manager, the automatic (natural) size of a widget depends on whether they widget is a block or inline widget:

      • a block widget takes by default the width of the parent, and the height that it needs based on its contents
      • an inline widget takes the width and height that it needs based on its contents (possibly wrapping over multiple lines). The width and height of an inline widget cannot be changed (by the letter of CSS, although most browsers will react to it in varying ways).

      When inserted in a layout manager, the size set will be used as a widget's preferred size, but the widget may be given a different size by the layout manager based on available space and stretch factors. The actual size given by a layout manager may be retrieved by making the widget "layout size aware", using setLayoutSizeAware(). If you have defined a "wtResize()" JavaScript method for the widget, then this method will also be called.

      The default width and height of a widget is WLength.Auto.

      Overrides:
      resize in class WGLWidget

      WWidget.getWidth(), WWidget.getHeight()
