Package net.sf.clichart.chart Description

This package contains classes for creating JFreeChart charts based on data events.

To use this package directly, you would:

• Create either a TimeSeriesChartBuilder (used when the X axis of your chart will be a date, time or date/time) or an XYChartBuilder (used when the X axis is a simple value, or when there is 'no' X value).
• Feed data to the chart builder, typically from a DataParser, although you can call the AbstractChartBuilder.headerParsed(java.lang.String[]) and AbstractChartBuilder.dataParsed(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object[], int) methods directly if you wish
• When the data is finished, call AbstractChartBuilder.getChart(net.sf.clichart.chart.Options) to return the JFreeChart chart. You'll have to pass in an object providing the appropriate options for generating the chart - either your own implementation of the Options interface, or using the OptionsBean.

See the net.sf.clichart.main package for examples of using these classes.
