setDataSeries()
setGroupLabelArray()
setSeriesLabelArray()
See TDGChartApplet.HTML for an example of using the charting applet. See TDGChartEditorApplet.HTML for an example of using the editor.
At a minimum, your HTML file must use the applet instruction (s) to identify the Perspective for Java .CLASS file and .JAR file that will be used to develop your chart. Examples:
or
or
or
Use the UseSampleData (true) property to display a simple bar chart using the sample data provided with Perspective for Java. The following example .HTML file displays a chart using this property:
Perspective for Java supports an HTML parameter (TDGSCRIPT) which allows any number of methods to be posted to the TDGChartApplet from HTML. HTML files may use any of the Properties listed in Chapter 7 by using a "set" or "get" prefix in front of the property name. In addition to the Methods listed in Chapter 8, these three methods ONLY work from within HTML (since they are not "true" Java methods):
- setDataSeries (list of numbers for series, separated by commas);
- setGroupLabelArray (list of strings for series labels, separated by commas);
- setSeriesLabelArray (list of strings for series labels, separated by commas);
In addition to the setDataSeries(), setSeriesLabelArray(), setGroupLabelArray() methods, see Chapter 6 for additional information about including your data in a chart.
setDataSeries()
This method can be used to assign a list of numbers to one or more series in a chart.
SYNTAX:
Value_1,...Value_x: A list of values to be assign to sequential series in a chart

This method can be used to assign a series of labels to one or more sequential groups in a chart.
SYNTAX:
setGroupLabelArray ("Label_1", "Label_2", "Label_3"...);Label_1, Label_2, Label_3,...: A list of labels to be assigned to sequential groups in a chart
