Code Sample

//create a datasource bean
FileDataSource fileDataSource1 = new STATBEANS.FileDataSource();

//set the file name to be read
fileDataSource1.setFileName("c:\\statbeans\\samples\\sales.txt");

//set the delimiter character used in the file
fileDataSource1.setDelimiter("comma");

//create a plot bean
ComponentChart chart1 = new STATBEANS.ComponentChart();

//set the columns for the x and y axes
chart1.setXVariableName("Month");
String ynames[]={"Domestic","International"};
chart1.setYVariableNames(ynames);

//set the type of time units
chart1.setTimeScale("Month");

//override the top title
xYPlot1.setTopTitleLine1("Sample Component Chart");

//override the axis titles
chart1.setXaxisTitle("month");
chart1.setYaxisTitle("units");

//add the plot to the application frame
add(chart1);

//make the plot a listener for changes in the FileDataSource bean
fileDataSource1.addDataChangeListener(chart1.listenerForDataChange);

//instruct the fileDataSource bean to read the file
fileDataSource1.readData();
