Summary

Tag name: <dvt:annotation>

Use the annotation tag to define an annotation on a graph. An annotation is associated with a specific data point on a graph. The annotationSet tag wraps an unlimited number of annotations for a graph. Usually, however, only a few of the points in a graph have annotations associated with them. It is possible for multiple annotations to be associated with a single data point.

Relationship with other tags

The annotation tag is a child of the annotationSet tag.

The annotation tag has the following child tag: graphFont tag.

Example

The following example shows the XML for six annotations in a single graph.




        <dvt:graph> 
          <dvt:annotationSet>

       
             <dvt:annotation series="0" group="0" text="annotation #1"/>


             <dvt:annotation series="0" group="0" text="Second annotation for the same series and group"/>


             <dvt:annotation series="1" group="3" text="This is a long long long annotation text for series 1 and group 3">


                 <dvt:graphFont name="SansSerif" size="10" color="#0000FF" bold="false" italic="true" underline="false"/>


             </dvt:annotation>


             <dvt:annotation series="1" group="7" text="fourth annotation"/>


             <dvt:annotation series="0" group="7" fillColor="#55FFFF00" borderColor="#55FF0000" text="fifth annotation"/>


             <dvt:annotation series="0" group="7" fillColor="#55FFFF00" borderColor="#55FF0000" text="sixth of the same set"/>


          </dvt:annotationSet>


        </dvt:graph>

Attributes

Name	Type	Supports EL?	Description
id	java.lang.String	no	Specifies the identifier for the component
series	int	no	Specifies the zero-based index of a series in a graph. In most graphs, each series appears as a set of markers that are the same color. For example, in a multiple pie graph, each yellow slice might represent sales of shoes, while each green slice represents the sales of boots. In a bar graph, all of the yellow bars might represent the sales of shoes, and the green bars might represent the sales of boots.
group	int	no	Specifies the zero-based index of a group in a graph. Groups appear differently in different graph types. In a clustered bar graph, each cluster of bars is a group. In a stacked bar graph, each stack is a group. In a multiple pie graph, each pie is a group.
borderColor	java.lang.String	no	Specifies the color of the border for the annotation in RGB hexadecimal. For example, borderColor="#000000" specifies black border color.
fillColor	java.lang.String	no	Specifies the fill color for the annotation in RGB hexadecimal. For example, fillColor="#000000" specifies black fill color.
text	java.lang.String	no	Specifies the text that appears in the annotation. This text can be multi-line with line breaks.
rendered	boolean	no	Indicates whether this annotation is visible in the graph. Valid values are "true" and "false".
