XYZ Graph Generator Code Sample 

//create a datasource bean 
FileDataSource fileDataSource1 = new STATBEANS.FileDataSource(); 

//set the file name to be read 
fileDataSource1.setFileName("c:\\statbeans\\samples\\cardata.txt"); 

//set the delimiter character used in the file 
fileDataSource1.setDelimiter("tab"); 

//create a plot bean 
XYZPlot xYZPlot1 = new STATBEANS.XYZPlot(); 

//set the columns for the x and y axes 
xYZPlot1.setZVariableName("mpg"); 
xYZPlot1.setXVariableName("weight"); 
xYZPlot1.setYVariableName("horsepower"); 

//add reference lines 
xYZPlot1.setThreeDReferenceLine("Bottom"); 

//override the top title 
xYZPlot1.setTopTitleLine1("Plot of Automobile Data"); 

//turn on point identifcation 
xYZPlot1.setHighlightPointOnMouseClick(true); 
xYZPlot1.setShowPointClickedMessage(true); 

//make the plot a listener for changes in the FileDataSource bean 
fileDataSource1.addDataChangeListener(xYZPlot1.listenerForDataChange); 

//instruct the fileDataSource bean to read the file
