Interface WChartPalette

All Known Implementing Classes:
WStandardPalette

public interface WChartPalette

Abstract base class for styling rendered data series in charts.

This class provides an interface for a palette which sets strokes and fill strokes for data in a chart. A palette is an ordered list of styles, which is indexed by the chart to get a suitable style for a particular series (in case of WCartesianChart ) or data row (in case of WPieChart). Each style is defined by a brush, two pen styles (one for borders, and one for plain lines), and a font color that is appropriate for drawing text within the brushed area.

To use a custom palette, you should reimplement this class, and then use WAbstractChart#setPalette() to use an instance of the palette.
