ChartType (Smart GWT EE API 13.0p (2026-01-27))

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<ChartType>
- - com.smartgwt.client.types.ChartType

All Implemented Interfaces:

ValueEnum, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<ChartType>
```
public enum ChartType
extends java.lang.Enum<ChartType>
implements ValueEnum
```
Known chart types. These are visual representations of data, not separate data models, although some chart types are only capable of showing a single facet of data.
Concrete charting implementations may use any value for chartType but should support the provided chartType values for charts that correspond to the visual presentation described below, to enable easy switching between charting engines.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant and Description
`AREA` Values represented by area, with stacked values representing multiple facet values.
`BAR` Values represented by horizontal bars.
`BUBBLE` A chart with two continuous numeric axes and up to one discrete facet that also displays values from a third continuous, numeric domain represented as the sizes of the data point shapes.
`COLUMN` Values represented by vertical columns.
`DOUGHNUT` Like a pie chart with a central hole.
`HISTOGRAM` Like a column chart, except instead of showing stacked or clustered values for each position on the horizontal axis, the data values are used together with the associated `FacetChart.endValueMetric` values to show a series of line segments.
`LINE` Values represented by a lines between data points, or stacked areas for multiple facets.
`PIE` Circular chart with wedges representing values.
`RADAR` Values represented on a circular background by a line around the center, or stacked areas for multiple facets
`SCATTER` A chart with two continuous numeric axes and up to one discrete facet.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - AREA
```
public static final ChartType AREA
```
    Values represented by area, with stacked values representing multiple facet values. This is equivalent to ChartType "Line" with stacking enabled.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "Area".
  - COLUMN
```
public static final ChartType COLUMN
```
    Values represented by vertical columns. Typically supports stacking to represent two facets. May support simultaneous stacking and clustering for 3 facets.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "Column".
  - BAR
```
public static final ChartType BAR
```
    Values represented by horizontal bars. Typically supports stacking to represent two facets. May support simultaneous stacking and clustering for 3 facets.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "Bar".
  - LINE
```
public static final ChartType LINE
```
    Values represented by a lines between data points, or stacked areas for multiple facets.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "Line".
  - RADAR
```
public static final ChartType RADAR
```
    Values represented on a circular background by a line around the center, or stacked areas for multiple facets
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "Radar".
  - PIE
```
public static final ChartType PIE
```
    Circular chart with wedges representing values. Multiple or stacked pies for multiple facets.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "Pie".
  - DOUGHNUT
```
public static final ChartType DOUGHNUT
```
    Like a pie chart with a central hole. Multiple or stacked doughnuts for multiple facets.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "Doughnut".
  - SCATTER
```
public static final ChartType SCATTER
```
    A chart with two continuous numeric axes and up to one discrete facet.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "Scatter".
  - BUBBLE
```
public static final ChartType BUBBLE
```
    A chart with two continuous numeric axes and up to one discrete facet that also displays values from a third continuous, numeric domain represented as the sizes of the data point shapes.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "Bubble".
  - HISTOGRAM
```
public static final ChartType HISTOGRAM
```
    Like a column chart, except instead of showing stacked or clustered values for each position on the horizontal axis, the data values are used together with the associated FacetChart.endValueMetric values to show a series of line segments.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "Histogram".

  - values
```
public static ChartType[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (ChartType c : ChartType.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static ChartType valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - getValue
```
public java.lang.String getValue()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getValue in interface ValueEnum
