ChartWidget Widget Class

Overview

The ChartWidget class is a convenience widget class that automatically creates a Chart object inside an EditObject widget. The main purpose of this widget class is to be used inside GUI builders so that one can create an application requiring a chart interactively. This widget class can also be used directly to create a Chart object and an EditObject widget in one step.

Inherited Behavior and Resources

The ChartWidget class inherits behavior and resources from the Core, Composite, Constraint, Manager, CompBase and EditObject classes.

The ChartWidget class does not define any new resources. You can however, specify any resources defined or inherited by the Chart object class. These resources will be applied directly to the Chart object created.
