Example

// Create model
final ChartModel model = ChartModel.New()
    .addColumn(Column.New(Type.STRING, "year", "Jahr"))
    .addColumn(Column.New(Type.NUMBER, "sales", "Verkäufe"))
    .addColumn(Column.New(Type.NUMBER, "customer", "Kunden"));

// Add items to model
model.addRow("2013", "6500", 6500);
model.addRow("2014", "4321", 4321);
model.addRow("2015", "9460", 9460);
model.addRow("2016", "7450", 7450);

model.addRow("2013", "1500", 1500);
model.addRow("2014", "2850", 2850);
model.addRow("2015", "685", 685);
model.addRow("2016", "4850", 4850);

// Set data
areaChart.setModel(model);

API and methods:

Configuration lines and points

Properties

PointShape

The shape of individual data elements: 'circle', 'triangle', 'square', 'diamond', 'star', or 'polygon'.

areaChart.setPointShape(PointShape.New(PointShape.Type.CIRCLE));

For detailed information see: https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/points

PointSize

Diameter of displayed points in pixels. Use zero to hide all points. You can override values for individual series using the series property. If you’re using a trendline, the pointSize option will affect the width of the trendline unless you override it with the trendlines.n.pointsize option.

areaChart.setPointSize(5);

PointVisible

Determines whether points will be displayed. Set to false to hide all points.

areaChart.setPointsVisible(true);

LineDashStyle

The on-and-off pattern for dashed lines. For instance, [4, 4] will repeat 4-length dashes followed by 4-length gaps, and [5, 1, 3] will repeat a 5-length dash, a 1-length gap, a 3-length dash, a 5-length gap, a 1-length dash, and a 3-length gap. See Dashed Lines for more information.

areaChart.setLineDashStyle(Arrays.asList(4,4,4));

LineWidth

Data line width in pixels. Use zero to hide all lines and show only the points. You can override values for individual series using the series property.

areaChart.setLineWidth(5);

SelectionMode

When selectionMode is 'multiple', users may select multiple data points.

areaChart.setSelectionMode(SelectionMode.MULTIPLE);

Orientation

The orientation of the chart. When set to 'vertical', rotates the axes of the chart so that (for instance) a column chart becomes a bar chart, and an area chart grows rightward instead of up:

areaChart.setOrientation(Orientation.HORIZONTAL);

DataOpacity

The transparency of data points, with 1.0 being completely opaque and 0.0 fully transparent.

areaChart.setDataOpacity(0.8);
