public class NFTitle

extends NFBaseClass

The NFTitle property describes the titles on a chart. Each title contains objects that represent the text label, the background region, and an associated active label. A typical use of this object is as follows:

	...
	Font font = new Font("Comic Sans MS", Font.PLAIN, 10);
	NFTitle top = new NFTitle(new NFLabel("My Top Title", black, font),
		new NFRegion(Color.gray, NFRegion.RAISED, 2));

	NFTitle bottom = (NFTitle)top.clone();
	bottom.setText("My Bottom Title");

	chart.setTopTitle(top);
	chart.setBottomTitle(bottom);

	...
  

This would create both a top and bottom title, identical except for the text.
