Interface IStringCustomizer

public interface IStringCustomizer

This interface is used for displaying non-ASCII characters in EspressChart, e.g. Japaneses Characters. Implement this abstract class first, and pass it into the QbChart.setStringCustomizer() method.

Here is an example of an implementation.

import quadbase.ChartAPI.*;
import quadbase.util.*;

// This is an example of a user implemented class of IStringCustomizer
public class StrCustomizer implements IStringCustomizer
{
// default constructor
public void StrCustomizer(){
}

// this is the only method that users need to implement
// method takes in a String argument and returns a "formatted" String
public String encodeString(String str){
try {
// Convert this String into bytes according to the specified 
//  character encoding, storing the result into a new byte array.
byte[] bytes = str.getBytes("8859_1");

// Construct & return a new String by converting the specified 
//  array of bytes using the specified character encoding.
return new String(bytes, "SJIS");    
} catch(java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException e){
ex.printStackTrace(); 
}

// return null if conversion is un-successful
return null; 
}
}
