Package net.sf.jasperreports.charts

Interface ChartTheme

All Known Implementing Classes:
AegeanChartTheme, DefaultChartTheme, EyeCandySixtiesChartTheme, GenericChartTheme, SimpleChartTheme, XmlChartTheme
public interface ChartTheme
Chart themes give more control over chart output, including the creation of the JFreeChart object itself. Also, chart themes affect a whole range of chart types across multiple reports and are not necessarily tied to a specific chart element within a report. They can even apply globally to all charts within a given JasperReports deployment, applying a new look and feel to all charts created.
A chart theme can be set globally using a configuration property within the jasperreports.properties file as follows:

net.sf.jasperreports.chart.theme=<theme_name>

The global chart theme can be overridden at report level using the following report property in the report template:

<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.chart.theme" value="<theme_name>"/>

If needed, at chart element level, the chart theme is specified using the theme attribute.
