de.gsi.chart.plugins.ChartOverlay

public class ChartOverlay
extends ChartPlugin

Plugin that overlays chart pane or chart's plot area with given node i.e. the bounds of the node are set to cover the indicated area.

Typically the node would be a an instance of Pane containing child nodes. The example below shows how to add a Label to the chart pane, located in the left top corner of the plot area:

 XYChartPane<Number, Number> chartPane = ...;

 Label label = new Label("Info about chart data");
 AnchorPane.setTopAnchor(label, 5.0);
 AnchorPane.setLeftAnchor(label, 5.0);
 AnchorPane anchorPane = new AnchorPane(label);
 // Pass any mouse events to the underlying chart
 anchorPane.setMouseTransparent(true);

 chartPane.getPlugins().add(new ChartOverlay<>(OverlayArea.PLOT_AREA, anchorPane));
