Class WDataSeries

public class WDataSeries
extends WObject
A single data series in a cartesian chart.

This class configures all aspects for rendering a single data series in a cartesian chart. A data series renders Y data from a single model column against the X series configured for the chart.

The data column should contain data that can be converted to a number, but should not necessarily be of a number type, see also StringUtils.asNumber(Object).

Multiple series of different types may be combined on a single chart.

Different styles of data series

For a category chart, series may be stacked on top of each other. This is controlled by setStacked() for a series, which if enabled, will stack that series on top of the preceding data series. This works regardless of whether they are of the same type, but obviously works visually best if these series are of the same type. When not stacked, bar series are rendered next to each other. The margin between bars of different data series is controlled using WCartesianChart#setBarMargin().

The line and color type are by default based on the chart palette, but may be overridden for a series using setPen(), setBrush(), etc...

  • Method Details

    • setBarWidth

      public void setBarWidth​(double width)
      Sets the bar width.

      The bar width specifies the bar width (in axis dimensions). For category plots, which may have several bars for different series next to each other, you will want to specify the same bar width for each series.

      For scatter plots, you may want to set the bar width to a natural size. E.g. if you are plotting weekly measurements, you could set the width to correspond to a week (=7).

      The default value is 0.8 (which leaves a 20% margin between bars for different categories in a category chart.

      See Also:
      WCartesianChart.setBarMargin(double margin)

    • getBarWidth

      public double getBarWidth()
      Returns the bar width.

      See Also:
      setBarWidth(double width)

    • setType

      public void setType​(SeriesType type)
      Sets the series type.

      The series type specifies how the data is plotted, i.e. using mere point markers, lines, curves, or bars.

    • getType

      public SeriesType getType()
      Returns the series type.

      See Also:
      setType(SeriesType type)

    • setModelColumn

      public void setModelColumn​(int modelColumn)
      Sets the model column.

      This specifies the model column from which the Y data is retrieved that is plotted by this series.

      The data column should contain data that can be converted to a number (but should not necessarily be of a number type). See also StringUtils.asNumber(Object).

    • getModelColumn

      public int getModelColumn()
      Returns the model column.

      See Also:
      setModelColumn(int modelColumn)

    • setXSeriesColumn

      public void setXSeriesColumn​(int modelColumn)
      Sets the X series column.

      By default, the data series uses the X series column configured for the chart. For a scatter plot, each series can have its own matching X data, which is configured here. For other plots, this setting is ignored.

      The default value is -1, which indicates that WCartesianChart.XSeriesColumn() is to be used.

      See Also:
      WCartesianChart.setXSeriesColumn(int modelColumn)

    • XSeriesColumn

      public int XSeriesColumn()
      Returns the X series column.

      See Also:
      setXSeriesColumn(int modelColumn)

    • setStacked

      public void setStacked​(boolean stacked)
      Sets whether this series is stacked on top of the preceding series.

      For category charts, data from different series may be rendered stacked on top of each other. The rendered value is the sum of the value of this series plus the rendered value of the preceding series. For line series, you probably will want to add filling under the curve. A stacked bar series is rendered by a bar on top of the preceding bar series.

      The default value is false.

    • isStacked

      public boolean isStacked()
      Returns whether this series is stacked on top of the preceding series.

    • setOffset

      public void setOffset​(double offset)
      Set an offset to draw the data series at.

      The Y position of the data series will be drawn at an offset, expressed in model coordinates. The axis labels won't follow the same offset.

      The offset can be manipulated client side using a mouse or touch drag if WCartesianChart.isCurveManipulationEnabled() is enabled.

      Note: This is only supported for axes with linear scale.

      Note: Individual models per data series are only supported for ScatterPlot type charts.

      See Also:
      WAbstractChart.setModel(WAbstractItemModel model)

    • getModel

      public WAbstractChartModel getModel()
      Get the model for this data series.

      This will return the model set for this data series, if it is set.

      If no model is set for this data series, and the series is associated with a chart, the model of the chart is returned.

      If no model is set for this data series, and the series is not associated with any data series, this will return null.
