Code Sample

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

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

//create a plot bean
DraftsmansPlot draftsmansPlot1 = new STATBEANS.DraftsmansPlot();

//set the columns names
draftsmansPlot1.setXVariableName("weight");
draftsmansPlot1.setYVariableName("horsepower");
draftsmansPlot1.setZVariableName("mpg");

//set smoother type
draftsmansPlot1.setSmootherType("Robust Lowess");

//add plot
add(draftsmansPlot1);

//make the plot a listener for changes in the FileDataSource bean
fileDataSource1.addDataChangeListener(draftsmansPlot1.listenerForDataChange);

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