This example demonstrates putting a data table under the x-axis.
In ChartDirector, the labels in a label based x-axis (that is, axis configured with
Axis.setLabels or
Axis.setLabels2) can be converted to a table using
Axis.makeLabelTable.
Note: Axis.makeLabelTable is only supported on a label based axis with no label stepping. You should not use this method with other axis configuration.
The
Axis.makeLabelTable returns a
CDMLTable object representing the table. It can be used to add more content to the table and to configure the appearance of the table.
In this example, 3 rows with alternating background colors are added to the table using
CDMLTable.appendRow. The cells in the rows are filled with data values using
CDMLTable.setText. A column is added to the left of the table using
CDMLTable.insertCol, and filled with the legend icons obtained using
Layer.getLegendIcon.
