                java.lang.String title)

Takes the values of x and y cooridnates in the form of an integer array. All the arguments should be passed with their correct values, otherwise the results are unpredictable. No arguments should be null.

Parameters:

int - x[]
The values of x dimension in the form of int array only. the size (x.length) of the array should be equal to the size of the y[] (ie y.length) passed as the second argument. If the sizes are different the results are unpredictable.

int - y[]
The values of x dimension in the form of int array only. the size (y.length) of the array should be equal to the size of the x[] (ie x.length) passed as the first argument. If the sizes are different the results are unpredictable.

String - xLabel
The label describing the values plotted along the X - Axis

String - yLabel
The label describing the values plotted along the Y - Axis

int - ALIGNMENT
- This can be only one of the following values.
BarGraph.HORIZONTAL - sets the bars to be displayed parallel to X - Axis
BarGraph.VERTICAL - sets the bars to be displayed parallel to Y - Axis
This parameter cannot be changed once the object is created

int - DETAIL
- This should be one of the following values only
BarGraph.ZOOM_IN - Shows the graph in a more detailed manner .That is the value starts from about 20% of the minimum value along the aligned axis
BarGraph.ZOOM_OUT - Shows the graph in complete. That is the value starts from zero along the aligned axis.

String - title
- A befitting name for the graph displayed

Method Detail

paint

public void paint(javax.microedition.lcdui.Graphics g)

run

public void run()

Specified by:

run in interface java.lang.Runnable

setGridStyle

public void setGridStyle(int type)

Sets the style of the grid. It allows drawing the grid lines along X-axis only or Y-axis only or aling both the axes or no grid lines at all. In most cases refresh() should be called for the changes to take effect.

Parameters:

int - type type should be one of the following values only, otherwise the results are unpredictable
BarGraph.X_ONLY
BarGraph.Y_ONLY
BarGraph.NONE
BarGraph.X_AND_Y

refresh()

setBorder

public void setBorder(boolean value)

Sets the border for the graph. Border style can be set using setBorderStyle(int type). In most devices the Border overlaps the x-label. So, the advice is that the x-label be turned off while drawing the border. In most cases refresh() should be called for the changes to take effect.

Parameters:

boolean - value

setViewType

public void setViewType(int value)

Sets the view type to one of the following predefined values. This is helpful when the graph is to show the details. in ZOOM_OUT mode the values on the x-axis and y-axis start from zero and extend upto the max value that the curve has. in ZOOM_IN mode the curve is made to just fit into the graph. In this case the origin is not at (0,0) but very close to the minimum x and y values.
