Example: High-Low-Close Chart

Autoscaling does not properly handle time data, so autoscaling is turned off for the x (time) axis and the axis limits are set explicitly.

import com.imsl.chart.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

public class HiLoEx1 extends javax.swing.JApplet {

    private JPanelChart panel;

    public void init() {
        Chart chart = new Chart(this);
        panel = new JPanelChart(chart);
        getContentPane().add(panel, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
        setup(chart);
    }

    static private void setup(Chart chart) {
        AxisXY axis = new AxisXY(chart);

        // Date is June 27, 1999
        Date date
                = new GregorianCalendar(1999,
                        GregorianCalendar.JUNE, 27).getTime();

        double high[] = {75., 75.25, 75.25, 75., 74.125, 74.25};
        double low[] = {74.125, 74.25, 74., 74.5, 73.75, 73.50};
        double close[] = {75., 74.75, 74.25, 74.75, 74., 74.0};

        //	Create an instance of a HighLowClose Chart
        HighLowClose hilo = new HighLowClose(axis, date, high, low, close);
        hilo.setMarkerColor(java.awt.Color.blue);

        //	Set the HighLowClose Chart Title
        chart.getChartTitle().setTitle("A Simple HighLowClose Chart");

        // Configure the x-axis
        hilo.setDateAxis("Date(SHORT)");
    }

    public static void main(String argv[]) {
        JFrameChart frame = new JFrameChart();
        HiLoEx1.setup(frame.getChart());
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
