Combination Charts (Multi-Gallery)

One of the most powerful features in Chart FX is the Multi-Gallery chart. Multi-Gallery Charts allow you to specify a different chart type for the series contained in a chart. Not all chart types in Chart FX can be combined to create a Multi-Gallery chart, only a subset of the chart types available in Chart FX can be used with this option.

If you have a chart with more than one series, you can use the Gallery property in the Series object to assign a different chart type to a different series in the chart. For example, if you have a three series chart and you want the first series to be bar, the second series to be curves and the third series to be area, your code should look like:


chart1.getSeries(0).setGallery(Gallery.CURVE);
chart1.getSeries(1).setGallery(Gallery.BAR);
chart1.getSeries(2).setGallery(Gallery.AREA);

All Multi-Gallery charts provide 2D/3D support rotation capabilities.

It is also important to note that there is also a Gallery property in the Chart object that applies to all series in the chart. So you must be careful to reference the series object when creating Multi-Gallery charts. For example:


// Will apply lines to all series in the chart
chart1.setGallery(Gallery.LINES);

// Will convert the first data series to lines
chart1.getSeries(0).setGallery(Gallery.LINES);
