Simple Area Chart

This example demonstrates the basic steps in creating area charts.

Create an XYChart object using XYChart.XYChart.
Specify the plot area of the chart using XYChart.setPlotArea. The plot area is the rectangle bounded by the x and y axes. You should leave some margin on the outside of the plot area for axis labels, chart titles, etc.
Specify the labels on the x-axis using Axis.setLabels.
An area chart may contain many points and therefore many x-axis labels. In this example, Axis.setLabelStep is used to specify showing only a subset of the labels on the x-axis to avoid over-crowding.
Add an area layer and specify the data for the area using XYChart.addAreaLayer.
Assign the chart to the WebChartViewer using WebChartViewer.setChart, and insert it to the web page using WebChartViewer.renderHTML.
Generate tool tips for the chart using BaseChart.getHTMLImageMap.

// Create a XYChart object of size 250 x 250 pixels
XYChart c = new XYChart(250, 250);

// Set the plotarea at (30, 20) and of size 200 x 200 pixels
c.setPlotArea(30, 20, 200, 200);

// Add an area chart layer using the given data
c.addAreaLayer(data);

// Set the labels on the x axis.
c.xAxis().setLabels(labels);

// Display 1 out of 3 labels on the x-axis.
c.xAxis().setLabelStep(3);

// Output the chart
WebChartViewer viewer = new WebChartViewer(request, "chart1");
viewer.setChart(c, Chart.SVG);

// Include tool tip for the chart
viewer.setImageMap(c.getHTMLImageMap("", "", "title='Hour {xLabel}: Traffic {value} GBytes'"));
