JavaFX AreaChart

In general, the area chart is used to display the graphically quantitative data. It basically plots the area for the set of points on a XY Plane. It is different from the Line Chart in the sense that Line Chart joins the data points by the straight line segments instead of plotting the area taken by them.

In the following image, An area chart shows the quantity of petrol consumed by two different bikes in every month of a year.

JavaFX AreaChart1

In JavaFX, the class javafx.scene.chart.AreaChart represents the Area Chart. We need to instantiate this class to generate an area chart node.

Properties

The class contains a single property which is described in the following table along with its setter method.

Property	Description	Setter Method
createSymbols	It is a boolean type property. Its true value indicates that the symbols get created for any of the data items for which the symbol node are not specified yet.	setCreateSymbols(boolean value)

Constructors

There are two constructors in the class.

public AreaChart(Axis Xaxis, Axis Yaxis) : Creates the new instance of AreaChart with the specified Axis.
public AreaChart(Axis Xaxis, Axis Yaxis, ObservableList > data) : Creates the new instance of AreaChart with the specified axis and data.

Example

In the following example, we have shown the comparison between the region-wise sales of a company.

  package application;  import javafx.application.Application;  import javafx.scene.Group;  import javafx.scene.Scene;  import javafx.scene.chart.AreaChart;  import javafx.scene.chart.NumberAxis;  import javafx.scene.chart.XYChart;  import javafx.stage.Stage;  public class AreaChartTest extends Application {  @Override  public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {  // TODO Auto-generated method stub  //Configuring Xaxis and Yaxis  NumberAxis xaxis = new NumberAxis(1,12,1);  NumberAxis yaxis = new NumberAxis(10,510,50);  xaxis.setLabel(“Month of the year”);  yaxis.setLabel(“Sales value (lacs)”);    //Creating Areachart  AreaChart<Number,Number> area = new AreaChart(xaxis,yaxis);    //Setting title for areachart   area.setTitle(“RegionWise Sales”);    //Configuring series for North sales   XYChart.Series seriesNorth = new XYChart.Series();  seriesNorth.setName(“North”);  seriesNorth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(1,120));  seriesNorth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(2,140));  seriesNorth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(3,50));  seriesNorth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(4,80));  seriesNorth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(5,150));  seriesNorth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(6,130));  seriesNorth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(7,110));  seriesNorth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(8,90));  seriesNorth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(9,200));  seriesNorth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(10,120));  seriesNorth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(11,100));  seriesNorth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(12,120));    //Configuring series for East sales   XYChart.Series seriesEast = new XYChart.Series();  seriesEast.setName(“East”);  seriesEast.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(1,500));  seriesEast.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(2,200));  seriesEast.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(3,300));  seriesEast.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(4,290));  seriesEast.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(5,150));  seriesEast.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(6,120));  seriesEast.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(7,190));  seriesEast.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(8,80));  seriesEast.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(9,100));  seriesEast.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(10,220));  seriesEast.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(11,300));  seriesEast.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(12,220));    //Configuring series for west sales   XYChart.Series seriesWest = new XYChart.Series();  seriesWest.setName(“West”);  seriesWest.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(1,320));  seriesWest.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(2,40));  seriesWest.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(3,250));  seriesWest.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(4,10));  seriesWest.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(5,190));  seriesWest.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(6,140));  seriesWest.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(7,200));  seriesWest.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(8,190));  seriesWest.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(9,300));  seriesWest.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(10,130));  seriesWest.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(11,400));  seriesWest.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(12,220));    //Configuring series for south sales  XYChart.Series seriesSouth = new XYChart.Series();  seriesSouth.setName(“South”);  seriesSouth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(1,220));  seriesSouth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(2,40));  seriesSouth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(3,250));  seriesSouth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(4,180));  seriesSouth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(5,450));  seriesSouth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(6,230));  seriesSouth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(7,110));  seriesSouth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(8,100));  seriesSouth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(9,123));  seriesSouth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(10,125));  seriesSouth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(11,225));  seriesSouth.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(12,127));    //adding series to the Area chart   area.getData().addAll(seriesNorth,seriesWest,seriesEast,seriesSouth);    //setting Group and Scene   Group root = new Group(area);  Scene scene = new Scene(root,600,400);  primaryStage.setScene(scene);  primaryStage.setTitle(“AreaChart Example”);  primaryStage.show();  }  public static void main(String[] args) {  launch(args);  }  }
