Flex4 用LineChart实现实时曲线图，并在其中添加自定义的虚线水平线

本示例首先是为了显示实时曲线。然后呢，要显示个水平线，比如我要显示一个变量的变化过程，但它有一个标准值，就可以用该种方式。

示例：

[flash=600,500]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/38216791/flex/samples/runtimeChart/samples.swf[/flash]

然后是代码：
先看Application：

接下来是里面的DashedLines：

package lip.charts.chartClasses
{
	import flash.display.Graphics;
	import flash.geom.Point;

	import lip.utils.GraphicUtils;

	import mx.charts.chartClasses.CartesianChart;
	import mx.charts.chartClasses.CartesianTransform;
	import mx.charts.chartClasses.ChartElement;
	import mx.charts.chartClasses.ChartState;
	import mx.charts.chartClasses.IAxis;

	public class DashedLines extends ChartElement
	{
		public function DashedLines()
		{
			super();
		}

		private var _yValue:Number = NaN;

		/**
		 * 该线对应的y值
		 */
		public function get yValue():Number
		{
			return _yValue;
		}

		/**
		 * @private
		 */
		public function set yValue(value:Number):void
		{
			_yValue = value;
			invalidateDisplayList();
		}


		/**
		 * 实线部分的长度
		 * @default 10
		 */
		public var length:Number = 10;

		/**
		 * 空白部分的长度
		 * @default 5
		 */
		public var gap:Number = 5;

		/**
		 * 线条的宽度
		 * @default 1
		 */
		public var lineThickness:Number = 1;

		/**
		 * 线条的颜色
		 * @default 黑色
		 */
		public var lineColor:uint = 0;

		private var _displayName:String;

		/**
		 * 该线所对应的数值名称(平均值，最大值等等)
		 * @default 
		 */
		public function get displayName():String
		{
			return _displayName;
		}

		/**
		 * @private
		 */
		public function set displayName(value:String):void
		{
			_displayName = value;
			invalidateDisplayList();
		}


		protected var label:TextField;

		override protected function createChildren():void
		{
			// TODO Auto Generated method stub
			super.createChildren();

			if(!label)
			{
				label = new TextField();
				label.mouseEnabled = false;
				addChild(label);
			}
		}


		override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
		{
			super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);

			if (!chart||
				chart.chartState == ChartState.PREPARING_TO_HIDE_DATA ||
				chart.chartState == ChartState.HIDING_DATA)
			{
				return;
			}

			var g:Graphics = this.graphics;
			g.clear();

			// 如果没有设置数据，不显示
			if(isNaN(yValue))
			{
				return;
			}

			var w:Number = unscaledWidth;
			var h:Number = unscaledHeight;
			var vAxis:IAxis = CartesianChart(this.chart).verticalAxis;

			var y:Number = dataToLocal(0, yValue).y;

			var pFrom:Point = new Point(0, y);
			var pTo:Point = new Point(w, y);

			GraphicUtils.drawDashed(g, pFrom, pTo, this.length, this.gap, this.lineThickness, this.lineColor);

			label.text = (displayName ? (displayName + " : ") : "") + yValue;
			label.x = 1;
			label.y = y > 21 ? y - 21 : y + 1;
		}


		// 这个方法复制自LineSeries
		override public function dataToLocal(... dataValues):Point
		{
			var data:Object = {};
			var da:Array /* of Object */ = [ data ];
			var n:int = dataValues.length;

			if (n > 0)
			{
				data["d0"] = dataValues[0];
				dataTransform.getAxis(CartesianTransform.HORIZONTAL_AXIS).
					mapCache(da, "d0", "v0");
			}

			if (n > 1)
			{
				data["d1"] = dataValues[1];
				dataTransform.getAxis(CartesianTransform.VERTICAL_AXIS).
					mapCache(da, "d1", "v1");           
			}

			dataTransform.transformCache(da,"v0","s0","v1","s1");

			return new Point(data.s0 + this.x,
				data.s1 + this.y);
		}
	}
}

还有其中用到的GraphicUtils.drawDashed()方法：

package lip.utils
{
	import flash.display.Graphics;
	import flash.geom.Point;

	/**
	 * 一些绘图相关的方法
	 * @author lip
	 */
	public class GraphicUtils
	{
		public function GraphicUtils()
		{
		}


		/**
		 * 画虚线
		 * @param graphics 你懂的
		 * @param pFrom 起点
		 * @param pTo 终点
		 * @param length 实线段的长度
		 * @param gap 实线段的间距
		 * @param thickness 线的宽度
		 * @param color 线的颜色
		 */
		public static function drawDashed(graphics:Graphics, pFrom:Point, pTo:Point, length:Number = 5, gap:Number = 5, thickness:Number = 1, color:uint = 0):void
		{
			var max:Number = Point.distance(pFrom, pTo);
			var l:Number = 0;
			var p3:Point;
			var p4:Point;
			graphics.lineStyle(thickness, color);
			while (l < max)
			{
				p3 = Point.interpolate(pTo, pFrom, l / max);
				l += length;
				if (l > max)
					l = max;
				p4 = Point.interpolate(pTo, pFrom, l / max);
				graphics.moveTo(p3.x, p3.y)
				graphics.lineTo(p4.x, p4.y)
				l += gap;
			}
		}
	}
}

代码不太多，就不详细解释了。
