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

- Built-in support for many common types of charts including bar charts, line charts, stacked charts, scatter charts, pie charts and more.

- Pinch Zoom - The `com.codename1.charts,ChartComponent` class includes optional pinch zoom support.

- 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:

- 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.

- 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.

- Create the Chart View. Use one of the existing view classes in the `com.codename1.charts.views` package.

- **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.

    /**
     * Creates a renderer for the specified colors.
     */
    private DefaultRenderer buildCategoryRenderer(int[] colors) {
        DefaultRenderer renderer = new DefaultRenderer();
        renderer.setLabelsTextSize(15);
        renderer.setLegendTextSize(15);
        renderer.setMargins(new int[]{20, 30, 15, 0});
        for (int color : colors) {
            SimpleSeriesRenderer r = new SimpleSeriesRenderer();
            r.setColor(color);
            renderer.addSeriesRenderer(r);
        }
        return renderer;
    }

    /**
     * Builds a category series using the provided values.
     *
     * @param titles the series titles
     * @param values the values
     * @return the category series
     */
    protected CategorySeries buildCategoryDataset(String title, double[] values) {
        CategorySeries series = new CategorySeries(title);
        int k = 0;
        for (double value : values) {
            series.add("Project " + ++k, value);
        }

        return series;
    }

    public Form createPieChartForm() {
        // Generate the values
        double[] values = new double[]{12, 14, 11, 10, 19};

        // Set up the renderer
        int[] colors = new int[]{ColorUtil.BLUE, ColorUtil.GREEN, ColorUtil.MAGENTA, ColorUtil.YELLOW, ColorUtil.CYAN};
        DefaultRenderer renderer = buildCategoryRenderer(colors);
        renderer.setZoomButtonsVisible(true);
        renderer.setZoomEnabled(true);
        renderer.setChartTitleTextSize(20);
        renderer.setDisplayValues(true);
        renderer.setShowLabels(true);
        SimpleSeriesRenderer r = renderer.getSeriesRendererAt(0);
        r.setGradientEnabled(true);
        r.setGradientStart(0, ColorUtil.BLUE);
        r.setGradientStop(0, ColorUtil.GREEN);
        r.setHighlighted(true);

        // Create the chart ... pass the values and renderer to the chart object.
        PieChart chart = new PieChart(buildCategoryDataset("Project budget", values), renderer);

        // Wrap the chart in a Component so we can add it to a form
        ChartComponent c = new ChartComponent(chart);

        // Create a form and show it.
        Form f = new Form("Budget", new BorderLayout());
        f.add(BorderLayout.CENTER, c);
        return f;

    }

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

    - `y`: the pointer y coordinate

    Overrides:
      `pointerPressed` in class `Component`

  - ### seriesPressed

    ###### Parameters

    - `sel`

  - ### 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.

  - ### setTransform

    public void setTransform(Transform transform)

    Sets the transform for the chart. Transforms origin assumed to be at (getAbsoluteX, getAbsoluteY).

    ###### Parameters

    - `transform`: the transform to set

  - ### pointerDragged

    public void pointerDragged(int[] x, int[] y)
    Description copied from class: `Component`

    If this Component is focused, the pointer dragged event will call this method

    ###### Parameters

    - `x`: the pointer x coordinate

    - `y`: the pointer y coordinate

    Overrides:
      `pointerDragged` in class `Component`

  - ### isPanEnabled

    ###### Returns

    the panEnabled

  - ### setPanEnabled

    public void setPanEnabled(boolean panEnabled)

    ###### Parameters

    - `panEnabled`: the panEnabled to set

  - ### setPanEnabled

    public void setPanEnabled(boolean panXEnabled, boolean panYEnabled)

    Enables or disables pan on x and y axes separately. Pass a different value for each axis to lock panning to a single direction; for example `setPanEnabled(true, false)` lets the user pan left/right but pins the Y axis (a useful pattern for time-series charts).

    ###### Parameters

    - `panXEnabled`: True to enable panning along the x-axis.

    - `panYEnabled`: True to enable panning along the y-axis.

  - ### isPanXEnabled

    public boolean isPanXEnabled()
    Checks whether panning is enabled along the X-axis.

  - ### isPanYEnabled

    public boolean isPanYEnabled()
    Checks whether panning is enabled along the Y-axis.

    - `minX`: The minimum X-axis value for panning.

    - `maxX`: The maximum X-axis value for panning.

    - `minY`: The minimum Y-axis value for panning.

    - `maxY`: The maximum Y-axis value for panning.

  - ### clearPanLimits

    public void clearPanLimits()
    Removes the pan limits which may have been previously set with `double, double, double)`

  - ### isZoomEnabled
