GWT Google Charts – Environment Setup
This tutorial will guide you on how to prepare a development environment to start your work with Google Charts and GWT Framework. This tutorial will also teach you how to setup JDK, Tomcat and Eclipse on your machine before you setup GWT Framework −
System Requirement
GWT requires JDK 1.6 or higher so the very first requirement is to have JDK installed in your machine.
JDK | 1.6 or above. |
---|---|
Memory | no minimum requirement. |
Disk Space | no minimum requirement. |
Operating System | no minimum requirement. |
Follow the given steps to setup your environment to start with GWT application development.
Step 1 – Verify Java Installation on your Machine
Now open console and execute the following java command.
OS | Task | Command |
---|---|---|
Windows | Open Command Console | c:> java -version |
Linux | Open Command Terminal | $ java -version |
Mac | Open Terminal | machine:~ joseph$ java -version |
Let”s verify the output for all the operating systems
Sr.No. | OS & Generated Output |
---|---|
1 |
Windows java version “1.6.0_21” Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b07) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.0-b17, mixed mode, sharing) |
2 |
Linux java version “1.6.0_21” Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b07) ava HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.0-b17, mixed mode, sharing) |
3 |
Mac java version “1.6.0_21” Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b07) Java HotSpot(TM)64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0-b17, mixed mode, sharing) |
Step 2 – Setup Java Development Kit (JDK)
If you do not have Java installed then you can install the Java Software Development Kit (SDK) from Oracle”s Java site: Java SE Downloads. You will find instructions for installing JDK in downloaded files, follow the given instructions to install and configure the setup. Finally set PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables to refer to the directory that contains java and javac, typically java_install_dir/bin and java_install_dir respectively.
Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the base directory location where Java is installed on your machine. For example
Sr.No. | OS & Output |
---|---|
1 |
Windows Set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to C:Program FilesJavajdk1.6.0_21 |
2 |
Linux export JAVA_HOME = /usr/local/java-current |
3 |
Mac export JAVA_HOME = /Library/Java/Home |
Append Java compiler location to System Path.
Sr.No. | OS & Output |
---|---|
1 |
Windows Append the string ;%JAVA_HOME%bin to the end of the system variable, Path. |
2 |
Linux export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin/ |
3 |
Mac not required |
Alternatively, if you use an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like Borland JBuilder, Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, or Sun ONE Studio, compile and run a simple program to confirm that the IDE knows where you installed Java, otherwise do proper setup as given document of the IDE.
Step 3 – Setup Eclipse IDE
All the examples in this tutorial have been written using Eclipse IDE. So I would suggest you should have latest version of Eclipse installed on your machine based on your operating system.
To install Eclipse IDE, download the latest Eclipse binaries from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. Once you downloaded the installation, unpack the binary distribution into a convenient location. For example in C:eclipse on windows, or /usr/local/eclipse on Linux/Unix and finally set PATH variable appropriately.
Eclipse can be started by executing the following commands on windows machine, or you can simply double click on eclipse.exe
%C:eclipseeclipse.exe
Eclipse can be started by executing the following commands on Unix (Solaris, Linux, etc.) machine −
$/usr/local/eclipse/eclipse
After a successful startup, if everything is fine then it should display result
Step 4: Install GWT SDK & Plugin for Eclipse
Follow the instructions given at the link Plugin for Eclipse (incl. SDKs) to install GWT SDK & Plugin for Eclipse version installed on your machine.
After a successful setup for the GWT plugin, if everything is fine then it should display following screen with Google icon marked with red rectangle.
Step 5: Install Google Charts
Download the latest Google Charts jar from its MVN Repositorypage and add it to project”s classpath.
Add the following entry in <project-name>.gwt.xml file
<inherits name = "com.googlecode.gwt.charts.Charts"/>
GWT Google Charts – Configuration Syntax
In this chapter, we will showcase the configuration required to draw a chart using the Google Charts API in GWT.
Step 1: Create GWT Application
Follow the following steps to update the GWT application we created in GWT – Create Application chapter −
Step | Description |
---|---|
1 | Create a project with a name HelloWorld under a package com.tutorialspoint as explained in the GWT – Create Application chapter. |
2 | Modify HelloWorld.gwt.xml, HelloWorld.html and HelloWorld.java as explained below. Keep rest of the files unchanged. |
3 | Compile and run the application to verify the result of the implemented logic. |
Following is the content of the modified module descriptor src/com.tutorialspoint/HelloWorld.gwt.xml.
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?> <module rename-to = ''helloworld''> <inherits name = ''com.google.gwt.user.User''/> <inherits name = ''com.google.gwt.user.theme.clean.Clean''/> <entry-point class = ''com.tutorialspoint.client.HelloWorld''/> <inherits name="com.googlecode.gwt.charts.Charts"/> <source path = ''client''/> <source path = ''shared''/> </module>
Following is the content of the modified HTML host file war/HelloWorld.html.
<html> <head> <title>GWT Highcharts Showcase</title> <link rel = "stylesheet" href = "HelloWorld.css"/> <script language = "javascript" src = "helloworld/helloworld.nocache.js"> </head> <body> </body> </html>
We”ll see the updated HelloWorld.java in the end after understanding configurations.
Step 2: Create Configurations
Load Library and create chart
Load the library using ChartLoader and then create the chart.
ChartLoader chartLoader = new ChartLoader(ChartPackage.CORECHART); chartLoader.loadApi(new Runnable() { public void run() { // Create and attach the chart PieChart chart = new PieChart(); } });
DataTable
Configure the details by creating a data table.
// Prepare the data DataTable data = DataTable.create(); data.addColumn(ColumnType.STRING, "Browser"); data.addColumn(ColumnType.NUMBER, "Percentage"); data.addRow("Firefox", 45.0); data.addRow("IE", 26.8); data.addRow("Chrome", 12.8); data.addRow("Safari", 8.5); data.addRow("Opera", 6.2); data.addRow("Others", 0.7); // Draw the chart chart.draw(data);
Size
Configure the width and height to be set.
chart.setWidth("700px"); chart.setHeight("700px");
Step 3: Add the chart to parent panel.
We”re adding the chart to root panel.
RootPanel.get().add(chart);
Example
Consider the following example to further understand the Configuration Syntax −
HelloWorld.java
package com.tutorialspoint.client; import com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint; import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.RootPanel; import com.googlecode.gwt.charts.client.ChartLoader; import com.googlecode.gwt.charts.client.ChartPackage; import com.googlecode.gwt.charts.client.ColumnType; import com.googlecode.gwt.charts.client.DataTable; import com.googlecode.gwt.charts.client.corechart.PieChart; public class HelloWorld implements EntryPoint { private PieChart chart; private void initialize() { ChartLoader chartLoader = new ChartLoader(ChartPackage.CORECHART); chartLoader.loadApi(new Runnable() { public void run() { // Create and attach the chart chart = new PieChart(); RootPanel.get().add(chart); draw(); } }); } private void draw() { // Prepare the data DataTable data = DataTable.create(); data.addColumn(ColumnType.STRING, "Browser"); data.addColumn(ColumnType.NUMBER, "Percentage"); data.addRow("Firefox", 45.0); data.addRow("IE", 26.8); data.addRow("Chrome", 12.8); data.addRow("Safari", 8.5); data.addRow("Opera", 6.2); data.addRow("Others", 0.7); // Draw the chart chart.draw(data); chart.setWidth("400px"); chart.setHeight("400px"); } public void onModuleLoad() { initialize(); } }
