public class BarLineChart
implements GraphStyleKeysInterface, FormViewInterface

The BarLineChart TransformationBean is a servlet component that produces bar charts with overlayed line plots. The charts support the visualization of multiple response variables. The Bar charts represent a requested statistic based on the values of one or more variables. They are useful for displaying exact magnitudes and emphasizing the differences among the charted values. The line plots show the relationship of one variable to another, often as movements or trends in the data over a period of time. Typically, each variable value on the horizontal axis has only one corresponding value on the vertical axis. A chart with an overlayed line plot is useful for observing variable relationships and trends together.

Note. This class can be used to render server-side graphs in Java servlets or JavaServer Pages (JSP). The com.sas.graphics.components.BarLineChart class can be used to render client-side graphs in Java applications or applets. Both classes use the models in the com.sas.graphics.components package.

See Also:

getFormObject()

getAdditionalParameters

public java.util.HashMap getAdditionalParameters()

Returns an HashMap containing additional parameters that should be added to the form used to perform the various actions on the table. The default value is null. In the html version, each parameter will be added to the form as a hidden field using the name of the item as the name= parameter on the <input> tag and the value of the item as the value= parameter on the input tag.

Specified by:

getAdditionalParameters in interface FormViewInterface

Returns:

a HashMap containing additional parameters that should be added to the form

See Also:

HashMap

setAdditionalParameters

public void setAdditionalParameters(java.util.HashMap map)

Sets an HashMap containing additional parameters that should be added to the form used to perform the various actions on the table. The default value is null. In the html version, each parameter will be added to the form as a hidden field using the name of the item as the name= parameter on the <input> tag and the value of the item as the value= parameter on the input tag.

Specified by:

setAdditionalParameters in interface FormViewInterface

Parameters:

map - HashMap object

See Also:

HashMap

setAdditionalParameter

public void setAdditionalParameter(java.lang.String name,
                                   java.lang.String value)

Sets an additional parameter to be added to the form used to perform the various actions on the table. In the html version, Each parameter will be added to the form as a hidden field using the name of the item as the name= parameter on the <input> tag and the value of the item as the value= parameter on the input tag.

HashMap

isFormEnabled

public boolean isFormEnabled()

Determines if the tbean should render its formObject. If true, then the tbean is responsible for rendering the formObject via the formObject's writeHeader and writeFooter methods. If false then the tbean does not render the formObject and the user is responsible for rendering the formObject.

Specified by:

isFormEnabled in interface FormViewInterface

Returns:

true if the tbean should render its formObject
