Building an Area Chart for Credit Coverage Trends

Building an Area Chart for Credit Coverage Trends

official demo:

jquick-pdf by example — demo #3 of 184. Every article in this series ships one complete, runnable demo: a template file and a Java class. No snippets, no omissions.

An area chart makes cumulative coverage readable — the filled band shows how much of the portfolio is scored.

This document belongs to the Credit report — chart series set. Like every demo in the series it has its own colour scheme and layout combination, derived deterministically from the demo number — so the look is stable across runs and two neighbouring documents never look alike.

What you'll build

  • A PDF written to 03_area.pdf
  • A template file (report/credit_report_03_area.txt) with 1 bound placeholder
  • A detail grid of 6 rows × 6 columns, laid out with width:100% so it fills the text area
  • One self-contained Java class (JQuickCreditReport03AreaTest) that binds the data and renders the file

Bound placeholders

Prerequisites

Java 8+ and one dependency — jquick-pdf is built on Apache PDFBox, not iText:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.paohaijiao</groupId>
    <artifactId>jquick-pdfx</artifactId>
    <version>4.2.0</version>
</dependency>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Coordinates: io.github.paohaijiao:jquick-pdfx:4.2.0.

Step 1 — the template file

JPdfX is jquick-pdf's HTML-like template language. It lives in its own file (src/test/resources/report/credit_report_03_area.txt) instead of a Java string, so designers can edit it without touching code.

Step 3 — run it

The class is a JUnit test, so run it with Maven:

mvn -pl jquick-pdfx test -Dtest=JQuickCreditReport03AreaTest
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

…or call the test method from a main wrapper if you want a plain entry point:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    new JQuickCreditReport03AreaTest().report03Area();
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Output: D:/test/creditreport/03_area.pdf

How it works

Binding a chart SVG into the template

The chart is not a bitmap — JChartRendererFactory.renderChart(...) returns an SVG string, and the template embeds it with a single <svg> element bound to ${svg}. That means the chart stays vector-sharp at any zoom level, and it participates in normal flow layout instead of being stamped on top of the page.

  • Declare only the width on <svg>; the height is derived from the chart's aspect ratio, so the chart never stretches vertically.
  • Open config.getLayoutConfig().setFlexLayout(true) if the template centers the chart with display:flex.
  • Bind the SVG string with factory.bind("svg", svg) — bind() is pure data injection and never re-parses markup.
String svg = JChartRendererFactory.renderChart(JChartType.LINE, option);
JQuickPdfFactory factory = new JQuickPdfFactory(config);
factory.bind("svg", svg);
byte[] bytes = factory.executeResource(TEMPLATE);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Flex layout: what it does and does not do

display:flex is opt-in: without config.getLayoutConfig().setFlexLayout(true) the children stack vertically. Even with it enabled, children whose fixed widths sum beyond the text area wrap to the next line — so a two-column layout must budget its pixels.

  • Enable flex on JPdfConfig before creating the factory.
  • Use fixed px widths that sum to less than the text width (~483px on A4 with 40pt margins).
  • Nested div two-column layouts are unreliable here — a full-width single column is safer.
JPdfConfig config = new JPdfConfig();
config.getLayoutConfig().setFlexLayout(true);

Template syntax cheat sheet

Syntax Meaning
<areaBreak></areaBreak> Force the next block onto a fresh page (CSS page-break is not supported).
<image src='D:/.../x.png'> Embed an image. src is a raw path — it is not evaluated as an expression.
<svg style="width:479pt">${svg}</svg> Embed a vector chart produced by JChartRendererFactory.
// comment Line comment. Keep <!-- ... --> comments short — long ones can blank the render.
<p style="fontSize:9pt; bold:true"> Inline styles use camelCase keys, CSS-like values.

Gotchas worth remembering

  • A <td> holds text only — nested <p>, <image> or <table> is dropped.
  • There is no colspan; emit one <td> per column and use '—' as filler.
  • setFontSize takes a float (8.5f); setMargins takes List<Integer>.
  • The footer format accepts exactly one %d.

Output

Wrap up

You now have a template file, a Java class and a PDF — all three reproducible from a clean clone. Swap the placeholder blocks for real data (or for real seal images) and the layout does not move.
