ChartMouseEvent question

dmacleod · Post by **dmacleod** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 8:01 pm

I get a chartEntity object from a ChartMouseEvent (i.e. ChartEntity entity = event.getEntity(); ). Are there any access methods to get the category or row text from the entity? I can view the values by doing a entity.toString(), but I can't find "get" methods to access the data.

thanks

Try something like this:

Code: Select all

CategoryItemEntity categoryItem = (CategoryItemEntity)e.getEntity();
			
			String selectedName = categoryItem.getColumnKey().toString();

That's for a category data plot. I'm sure it would be similar for other plots. Just see what type of Entity, e.getEntity is giving you and typecast accordingly
