以下的例子介绍了g:dataSeries标签常用方法，在创建jsp页面之前，需要创建为数据表提供数据的托管Bean：

@ManagedBean(scope=ManagedBeanScope.SESSION)
public class CategoryData extends ArrayDataModel {
  public CategoryData() {
    this(20); 
  } 
  
  public CategoryData(int numRows) {
    super(createData(numRows)); 
  } 

  public void randomize() {
    setWrappedData(createData(20)); 
  }
 
  private static CategoryDataItem[] createData(int numRows) {
    Random r = new Random(); CategoryDataItem[] data = new CategoryDataItem[numRows];
    for (int i = 0; i < numRows; i++) {
      data[i] = new CategoryDataItem("Category " + (i+1), r.nextInt(10)+1, r.nextInt(10)+1, r.nextInt(10)+1); 
    }
    return data; 
  } 
}

DataSeries构件的属性不多，但value、var、rows和first属性都是很常用的属性，了解这些属性对使用此构件很有帮助。下面是涉及DataSeries的代码：

<!-- Area Chart --> 
<g:areaChart title="Area Chart Demo" xAxisLabel="Category" yAxisLabel="Value" showLegend="true" foregroundAlpha="0.7">
  <g:dataSeries value="#{CategoryData}" var="x" rows="5">
    <g:dataLabel value="#{x.label}" />
    <g:dataItem legend="First" value="#{x.first}" /> 
    <g:dataItem legend="Second" value="#{x.second}" /> 
    <g:dataItem legend="Third" value="#{x.third}" /> 
  </g:dataSeries> 
</g:areaChart>

<!-- Bar Chart --> 
<g:barChart title="3D Bar Chart Demo" xAxisLabel="Category" yAxisLabel="Value" effect3D="true" showLegend="true"> 
  <g:dataSeries value="#{CategoryData}" var="x" rows="5" first="3"> ...... </g:dataSeries> 
</g:barChart>
