public void setAxisThickness(int axisThickness)

Set axis thickness - only applies if chart depth is not 0

Parameters:

axisThickness -

getAxisThickness

public int getAxisThickness()

Get axis thickness - only applies if chart depth is not 0

Returns:

setGridDepth

public void setGridDepth(int gridDepth)

Set the 3D depth of the grids. If set to -1, it will use the default depth of the chart.

Parameters:

gridDepth -

getGridDepth

public int getGridDepth()

Get the 3D depth of the grids. If set to -1, it will use the default depth of the chart.

setGridSeries

public void setGridSeries(NFGridSeries gridSeries)

Sets the grid objects for this chart. An easier interface for most applications is to use addGrid(grid); To set a property on the grid series, you must first retrieve the series, then set the property (properties) and finally set the line series.

     NFBarchart chart = null; // NFBarchart, NFBoxchart, etc.
     NFGridSeries gridSeries = chart.getGridSeries();
     NFGrid grid = (NFLineSet)rls.elementAt(0);

     chart.setGridSeries(gridSeries);
 

Parameters:

gridSeries -

getGridSeries

public NFGridSeries getGridSeries()
