RrdGraphDef (RRD4J 3.4 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.rrd4j.graph.RrdGraphDef

All Implemented Interfaces:

RrdGraphConstants
```
public class RrdGraphDef
extends Object
implements RrdGraphConstants
```
Class which should be used to define new Rrd4j graph. Once constructed and populated with data object of this class should be passed to the constructor of the RrdGraph class which will actually create the graph.

The text printed below the actual graph can be formated by appending special escaped characters at the end of a text. When ever such a character occurs, all pending text is pushed onto the graph according to the character specified.

Valid markers are: \j for justified, \l for left aligned, \r for right aligned and \c for centered.

Normally there are two space characters inserted between every two items printed into the graph. The space following a string can be suppressed by putting a \g at the end of the string. The \g also squashes any space inside the string if it is at the very end of the string. This can be used in connection with %s to suppress empty unit strings.

A special case is COMMENT:\s this inserts some additional vertical space before placing the next row of legends.

When text has to be formated without special instructions from your side, RRDTool will automatically justify the text as soon as one string goes over the right edge. If you want to prevent the justification without forcing a newline, you can use the special tag \J at the end of the string to disable the auto justification.

  - setTimeAxis
```
public void setTimeAxis(int minorUnit,
                        int minorUnitCount,
                        int majorUnit,
                        int majorUnitCount,
                        int labelUnit,
                        int labelUnitCount,
                        int labelSpan,
                        String simpleDateFormat)
```
    Configures x-axis grid and labels. The x-axis label is quite complex to configure. So if you don't have very special needs, you can rely on the autoconfiguration to get this right.
    
    Otherwise, you have to configure three elements making up the x-axis labels and grid. The base grid, the major grid and the labels. The configuration is based on the idea that you first specify a well known amount of time and then say how many times it has to pass between each minor/major grid line or label. For the label you have to define two additional items: The precision of the label in seconds and the format used to generate the text of the label.
    
    For example, if you wanted a graph with a base grid every 10 minutes and a major one every hour, with labels every hour you would use the following x-axis definition.
```
 setTimeAxis(RrdGraphConstants.MINUTE, 10,
             RrdGraphConstants.HOUR, 1,
             RrdGraphConstants.HOUR, 1,
             0, "%H:%M")
 
```
    The precision in this example is 0 because the %X format is exact. If the label was the name of the day, we would have had a precision of 24 hours, because when you say something like 'Monday' you mean the whole day and not Monday morning 00:00. Thus the label should be positioned at noon. By defining a precision of 24 hours or rather 86400 seconds, you make sure that this happens.
    Parameters:
    
    minorUnit - Minor grid unit. Minor grid, major grid and label units can be one of the following constants defined in RrdGraphConstants: SECOND, MINUTE, HOUR, DAY, WEEK, MONTH, YEAR.
    
    minorUnitCount - Number of minor grid units between minor grid lines.
    
    majorUnit - Major grid unit.
    
    majorUnitCount - Number of major grid units between major grid lines.
    
    labelUnit - Label unit.
    
    labelUnitCount - Number of label units between labels.
    
    labelSpan - Label precision
    
    simpleDateFormat - Date format (SimpleDateFormat pattern of strftime-like pattern)
  - setTimeAxis
```

    It configure the x-axis grid in the same way than setTimeAxis(int, int, int, int, int, int, int, String), but it allows to use a TimeLabelFormat to format the date label.
    
    Parameters:
    
    minorUnit -
    
    minorUnitCount -
    
    majorUnit -

    format -
  - setTimeLabelFormat
```
public void setTimeLabelFormat(TimeLabelFormat format)
```
    This allows to keep the default major and minor grid unit, but with changing only the label formatting, using a TimeLabelFormat
    
    Parameters:
    
    format - a custom dynamic time label format
  - setValueAxis
```
public void setValueAxis(double gridStep,
                         int labelFactor)
```
    Sets vertical axis grid and labels. Makes vertical grid lines appear at gridStep interval. Every labelFactor*gridStep, a major grid line is printed, along with label showing the value of the grid line.
    
    Parameters:
    
    gridStep - Minor grid step
    
    labelFactor - Specifies how many minor minor grid steps will appear between labels (major grid lines)
  - setAltYGrid
```
public void setAltYGrid(boolean altYGrid)
```
    Places Y grid dynamically based on graph Y range. Algorithm ensures that you always have grid, that there are enough but not too many grid lines and the grid is metric. That is grid lines are placed every 1, 2, 5 or 10 units.
    
    Parameters:
    
    altYGrid - true, if Y grid should be calculated dynamically (defaults to false)
  - setNoMinorGrid
```
public void setNoMinorGrid(boolean noMinorGrid)
```
    Use this method to turn off minor grid lines (printed by default)
    
    Parameters:
    
    noMinorGrid - true, to turn off, false to turn on (default)
  - setAltYMrtg
```
public void setAltYMrtg(boolean altYMrtg)
```
    Use this method to request MRTG-like graph (false by default)
    
    Parameters:
    
    altYMrtg - true, to create MRTG-like graph, false otherwise (default)
  - setAltAutoscale
```
public void setAltAutoscale(boolean altAutoscale)
```
    Computes Y range based on function absolute minimum and maximum values. Default algorithm uses predefined set of ranges. This is good in many cases but it fails miserably when you need to graph something like 260 + 0.001 * sin(x). Default algorithm will use Y range from 250 to 300 and on the graph you will see almost straight line. With --alt-autoscale Y range will be from slightly less the 260 - 0.001 to slightly more then 260 + 0.001 and periodic behavior will be seen.
    
    Parameters:
    
    altAutoscale - true to request alternative autoscaling, false otherwise (default).
  - setAltAutoscaleMin
```
public void setAltAutoscaleMin(boolean altAutoscaleMin)
```
    Computes Y range based on function absolute minimum and maximum values. Where setAltAutoscale(true) will modify both the absolute maximum AND minimum values, this option will only affect the maximum value. The minimum value, if not defined elsewhere, will be 0. This option can be useful when graphing router traffic when the WAN line uses compression, and thus the throughput may be higher than the WAN line speed.
    
    Parameters:
    
    altAutoscaleMin - true to request alternative autoscaling, false otherwise (default)
  - setAltAutoscaleMax
```
public void setAltAutoscaleMax(boolean altAutoscaleMax)
```
    Computes Y range based on function absolute minimum and maximum values. Where setAltAutoscale(true) will modify both the absolute maximum AND minimum values, this option will only affect the maximum value. The minimum value, if not defined elsewhere, will be 0. This option can be useful when graphing router traffic when the WAN line uses compression, and thus the throughput may be higher than the WAN line speed.
    
    Parameters:
    
    altAutoscaleMax - true to request alternative autoscaling, false otherwise (default)
  - setUnitsExponent
```
public void setUnitsExponent(int unitsExponent)
```
    Sets the 10**unitsExponent scaling of the y-axis values. Normally values will be scaled to the appropriate units (k, M, etc.). However you may wish to display units always in k (Kilo, 10e3) even if the data is in the M (Mega, 10e6) range for instance. Value should be an integer which is a multiple of 3 between -18 and 18, inclusive. It is the exponent on the units you which to use. For example, use 3 to display the y-axis values in k (Kilo, 10e3, thousands), use -6 to display the y-axis values in µ (Micro, 10e-6, millionths). Use a value of 0 to prevent any scaling of the y-axis values.
    
    Parameters:
    
    unitsExponent - the 10**unitsExponent value for scaling y-axis values.
  - setUnitsLength

After the image has been created, the graph function uses imageInfo format string (printf-like) to create output similar to the print(String, ConsolFun, String) function. The format string is supplied with the following parameters: filename, xsize and ysize (in that particular order).
    
    For example, in order to generate an IMG tag suitable for including the graph into a web page, the command would look like this:
```
 setImageInfo("<IMG SRC='/img/%s' WIDTH='%d' HEIGHT='%d' ALT='Demo'>");
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    imageInfo - Image info format. Use %s placeholder for filename, %d placeholder for image width and height.
  - setImageFormat
```
public void setImageFormat(String imageFormat)
```
    Sets image format.
    
    Parameters:
    
    imageFormat - Any value as return by ImageIO.getReaderFormatNames()
  - setBackgroundImage
```
public void setBackgroundImage(String backgroundImage)
```
    Sets background image - currently, only PNG images can be used as background.
    
    Parameters:
    
    backgroundImage - Path to background image
  - setOverlayImage
```
public void setOverlayImage(String overlayImage)
```
    Sets overlay image - currently, only PNG images can be used as overlay. Overlay image is printed on the top of the image, once it is completely created.
    
    Parameters:
    
    overlayImage - Path to overlay image
  - setUnit
```
public void setUnit(String unit)
```
    Sets unit to be displayed on y axis. It is wise to use only short units on graph, however.
    
    Parameters:
    
    unit - Unit description
  - setLazy
```
public void setLazy(boolean lazy)
```
    Creates graph only if the current graph is out of date or not existent.
    
    Parameters:
    
    lazy - true, if graph should be 'lazy', false otherwise (default)
  - setMinValue
```
public void setMinValue(double minValue)
```
    Sets the lower limit of a graph. But rather, this is the maximum lower bound of a graph. For example, the value -100 will result in a graph that has a lower limit of -100 or less. Use this method to expand graphs down.
    
    Parameters:
    
    minValue - Minimal value displayed on the graph
  - setMaxValue
```
public void setMaxValue(double maxValue)
```
    Defines the value normally located at the upper border of the graph. If the graph contains higher values, the upper border will move upwards to accommodate these values as well.
    
    If you want to define an upper-limit which will not move in any event you have to use setRigid(boolean) method as well.
    
    Parameters:
    
    maxValue - Maximal value displayed on the graph.
  - setRigid
```
public void setRigid(boolean rigid)
```
    Sets rigid boundaries mode. Normally Rrd4j will automatically expand the lower and upper limit if the graph contains a value outside the valid range. With the true argument you can disable this behavior.
    
    Parameters:
    
    rigid - true if upper and lower limits should not be expanded to accommodate values outside of the specified range. False otherwise (default).
  - setBase
```
public void setBase(double base)
```
    Sets default base for magnitude scaling. If you are graphing memory (and NOT network traffic) this switch should be set to 1024 so that 1Kb is 1024 byte. For traffic measurement, 1 kb/s is 1000 b/s.
    
    Parameters:
    
    base - Base value (defaults to 1000.0)
  - setLogarithmic
```
public void setLogarithmic(boolean logarithmic)
```
    Sets logarithmic y-axis scaling.
    
    Parameters:
    
    logarithmic - true, for logarithmic scaling, false otherwise (default).

    Calculates the chosen consolidation function CF over the given datasource and creates the result by using the given format string. In the format string there should be a '%[l]f', '%[l]g' or '%[l]e' marker in the place where the number should be printed.
    
    If an additional '%s' is found AFTER the marker, the value will be scaled and an appropriate SI magnitude unit will be printed in place of the '%s' marker. The scaling will take the '--base' argument into consideration!
    
    If a '%S' is used instead of a '%s', then instead of calculating the appropriate SI magnitude unit for this value, the previously calculated SI magnitude unit will be used. This is useful if you want all the values in a print statement to have the same SI magnitude unit. If there was no previous SI magnitude calculation made, then '%S' behaves like a '%s', unless the value is 0, in which case it does not remember a SI magnitude unit and a SI magnitude unit will only be calculated when the next '%s' is seen or the next '%S' for a non-zero value.

    Does the same as line(String, java.awt.Paint), but the graph gets stacked on top of the previous LINE, AREA or STACK graph. Depending on the type of the previous graph, the STACK will be either a LINE or an AREA. This obviously implies that the first STACK must be preceded by an AREA or LINE.
    
    Note, that when you STACK onto *UNKNOWN* data, Rrd4j will not draw any graphics ... *UNKNOWN* is not zero.
    
    Parameters:
    
    srcName - Virtual source name
    
    color - Stacked graph color
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - Thrown if this STACK has no previously defined AREA, STACK or LINE graph bellow it.
