Several properties that can apply to a number of graph components are collected into special
classes. These classes are the GraphFont
class, the SFX
class, and
the ThreeDViewMatrix
class. The GraphFont
class has font properties,
such as font color or font size, and these properties can apply to any graph component that
displays text. Each graph component has get and set methods to access the object that stores
these property values. For example, the GraphTitle
has a getGraphFont
method, which retrieves the GraphFont
object for the GraphTitle
.
To access the properties in the special classes, you call the get method of the class that
you want to format, to get the special class. Then you call the set method for the property in
the special class. For example, you call getGraphFont
on the
GraphTitle
, and then, on the returned GraphFont
object, you
call setGraphFontColor
to set the color.
