Render an XY line chart

Parameters:

width - the width of the resulting chart in pixels

height - the height of the resulting chart in pixels

series - a list of Instances - one for each series to be plotted

xAxis - the name of the attribute for the x-axis (all series Instances are expected to have an attribute of the same type with this name)

yAxis - the name of the attribute for the y-axis (all series Instances are expected to have an attribute of the same type with this name)

optionalArgs - optional arguments to the renderer (may be null)

Returns:

a BufferedImage containing the chart

Throws:

Exception - if there is a problem rendering the chart

                                  throws Exception

Render an XY scatter plot

Parameters:

width - the width of the resulting chart in pixels

height - the height of the resulting chart in pixels

series - a list of Instances - one for each series to be plotted

xAxis - the name of the attribute for the x-axis (all series Instances are expected to have an attribute of the same type with this name)

yAxis - the name of the attribute for the y-axis (all series Instances are expected to have an attribute of the same type with this name)

optionalArgs - optional arguments to the renderer (may be null)

Returns:

a BufferedImage containing the chart

Throws:

Exception - if there is a problem rendering the chart

renderHistogram

public BufferedImage renderHistogram(int width,
                                     int height,
                                     List<Instances> series,
                                     String attToPlot,
                                     List<String> optionalArgs)
                              throws Exception

Render histogram(s) (numeric attribute) or pie chart (nominal attribute). Some implementations may not be able to render more than one histogram/pie on the same chart - the implementation can either throw an exception or just process the first series in this case. This Default implementation uses Weka's built in VisualizeAttributePanel to render with and, as such, can only render histograms. It produces histograms for both numeric and nominal attributes.

Parameters:

width - the width of the resulting chart in pixels

height - the height of the resulting chart in pixels

series - a list of Instances - one for each series to be plotted

attsToPlot - the attribute to plot corresponding to the Instances in the series list

optionalArgs - optional arguments to the renderer (may be null)

Returns:

a BufferedImage containing the chart

Throws:

Exception - if there is a problem rendering the chart
