Globally defining by code a chart property that is not specific to a series, and that is evaluated in the .css

Question

How can I globally define by code a chart property that is not specific to a series, and that is evaluated in the .css?

Answer

To enable global attributes to be set in a .css file that can be changed by

code, you need to create a .css file with entries as follows (the example

specifies the title of a chart's legend, but you can specify it for any

property):

...

chartLegend {

title: @myDynamicTitle;

}

...

You then apply the JComponent.putClientProperty() method to the

chart as follows to define the 'string' property:

chart.putClientProperty("myDynamicTitle","My style sheet");
