Class: ezcGraphRenderer

Abstract class to transform the basic chart components. To be extended by three- and twodimensional renderers. [source]

Descendents

Child Class Description
ezcGraphRenderer2d Class to transform chart primitives into image primitives. Renders charts in a two dimensional view.
ezcGraphRenderer3d Class to transform chart primitives into image primitives. This renderer renders the charts in a isometric three dimensional view.

Member Variables

protected ezcGraphDriver $driver
Driver used to render results
protected array $elements = array()
Context sensitive references to chart elements to use for referencing image elements depending on the output driver, like image maps, etc.

Methods

addElementReference

void addElementReference( ezcGraphContext $context, mixed $reference )
Adds a element reference for context

Parameters

Name Type Description
$context ezcGraphContext Dataoint context
$reference mixed Driver dependant reference

drawAxis

void drawAxis( $boundings, ezcGraphCoordinate $start, ezcGraphCoordinate $end, ezcGraphChartElementAxis $axis, [ezcGraphAxisLabelRenderer $labelClass = null] )
Draw axis
Draws an axis form the provided start point to the end point. A specific angle of the axis is not required.
For the labeleing of the axis a sorted array with major steps and an array with minor steps is expected, which are build like this: array( array( 'position' => (float), 'label' => (string), ) ) where the label is optional.
The label renderer class defines how the labels are rendered. For more documentation on this topic have a look at the basic label renderer class.
Additionally it can be specified if a major and minor grid are rendered by defining a color for them. Teh axis label is used to add a caption for the axis.

$boundings ezcGraphBoundings Boundings of axis
