SizeManager

Size manager: stores Charts' sizes and synchronizes them, the "size synchronization" concerns the size (width & height) of the "main charting zone" of all synchronized charts.

To synchronize several Charts on screen:

• instantiate a sizeManager

• instantiates a HorizontalSynchronizer with hSynchro for each "line" of Charts you need to synchronize

• instantiates a VerticalSynchronizer with vSynchro for each "column" of Charts you need to synchronize

• add the concerned Charts to your different SizeSynchronizers

Let's say you want to display vertically 3 charts that use the same X-axis but display 3 different values on the Y-axis. In order to make data comparison easy, you want these charts to be perfectly aligned, even if they may have different values displayed on their Y-axes and so may not be perfectly aligned by default. To fix this use a vertical synchronizer]:

val synchronizer = SizeManager().vSynchro()
synchronizer.addAllCharts(chart1, chart2, chart3)

If one of the synchronized charts has a charting zone with a small width (for example because it displays a large Legend component on its right) then the other vertically synchronized charts will have a charting zone with the same width and at the same X position on screen.

By doing this, you can very easily synchronize Charts that shares the same values, they will be pixel-perfect synchronized even if they display different kind of data and even after being resized.

When a synchronized Chart change size, the other will also be resized according to the new constraints.
