Gauge Chart for the Composite Credit Score

jquick-pdf by example — demo #9 of 184. Every article in this series ships one complete, runnable demo: a template file and a Java class. No snippets, no omissions.

A single dial that answers one question: how healthy is this borrower, on a 0-100 scale?

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 D:/test/creditreport/09_guage.pdf
  • A template file (report/credit_report_09_guage.txt) with 1 bound placeholder
  • A detail grid of 13 rows × 6 columns, laid out with width:100% so it fills the text area
  • One self-contained Java class (JQuickCreditReport09GuageTest) that binds the data and renders the file

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> 

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_09_guage.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=JQuickCreditReport09GuageTest 

…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 JQuickCreditReport09GuageTest().report09Guage(); } 

Output: D:/test/creditreport/09_guage.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); 

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
<list style="listStyleType:decimal"><li> Ordered or unordered list items.
<td style="padding:4px; border:1px solid #C3CDD8"> Cell styling. A <td> holds text only — no nested blocks.
factory.bind("k", v) Injects plain text into the context; markup inside a value is dropped.
'literal text' A single-quoted string is a literal — whatever is inside is printed verbatim.
${var} An expression. It must sit outside the quotes: 'No: '${docNo}.

Gotchas worth remembering

  • Keep <!-- ... --> comments short — long ones can silently blank the render.
  • Use the full-width ¥, not ¥, or the character may render as ?.
  • Compute money with BigDecimal, round once, and derive 大写 from the rounded value.
  • Flex children whose fixed widths exceed the text area wrap instead of sitting side by side.

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.
