Constructor Detail

Axis

public Axis(int align,
            ChartDataModelConstraints c)

Creates new Axis.

Parameters:

align - the alignment of the axis.

c - the ChartDataModelConstraints

Method Detail

getAlignment

public int getAlignment()

Returns the alignment of the axis.

Returns:

the alignment constant: Axis.VERTICAL or Axis.HORIZONTAL

setLength

public void setLength(int length)

Sets the Pixel length of the axis.

Parameters:

length - the length in pixel

getLength

public int getLength()

Returns length of the axis in pixels.

Returns:

the length in pixels

getPixelForValue

public double getPixelForValue(double value)

Returns the point on the axis for a specific value. If the axis is a x-axis and the column values are not numeric, this isn't needed since then the axis can be divided into equally long parts. This is a relative pixel distance to the starting pixel of the axis.

Parameters:

value - the double value to compute the pixel distance for

Returns:

the pixel distance for the given value relative to the start of the axis

getPointToPixelRatio

public double getPointToPixelRatio()

Returns the ratio between a value unit and the screen pixels. This is only useful for linear scales.

Returns:

the ratio points / pixel length for the axis.
