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 chart bean
FactorScatterPlot plot1 = new STATBEANS.FactorScatterPlot();
plot1.setBackground(java.awt.Color.yellow);
plot1.setBounds(16,30,380,300);

//set the column to be plotted
plot1.setXVariableName("mpg");

//set the factor column
plot1.setFactorVariableName("origin");

//set the direction
plot1.setDrawVertical(true);

//show the plot
add(plot1);

//make the plot bean a listener for changes in the FileDataSource bean
fileDataSource1.addDataChangeListener(plot1.listenerForDataChange);

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