Code Sample

//create a datasource bean
FileDataSource fileDataSource1 = new STATBEANS.FileDataSource();

//set the file name to be read
fileDataSource1.setFileName("c:\\statbeans\\samples\\bridge.txt");

//create a plot bean
SubseriesPlot plot1 = new STATBEANS.SubseriesPlot();

//set the variable name for plotting
plot1.setTimeSeriesVariableName("traffic");

//set the axis scaling
plot1.setTimeScale("month");
plot1.setStartTime("1/71");

//set the plot type
plot1.setPlotType("Annual");

//set the legend position
plot1.setLegendHorizontalPosition(1.1);
plot1.setLegendVerticalPosition(1.2);

//override a default color
plot1.setLineColors(Color.red,12);
plot1.setPointColors(Color.red,12);

//add the plot to the application frame
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();
