I suspect you are adding the shape annotations to the plot, where they are drawn last. Instead, add them to the renderer in Layer.BACKGROUND. As shown below, the circle does not obscure the tool tip at (20, 20). Note also how (10, 10) is not affected by the line annotation, while (30, 30) is obscured … Read more
The method getLegendItem(), seen here, provides all the information needed to render a legend item in any Container you choose. GridLayout(0, 2) will arrange them in two columns for any number of rows. To suppress the existing legend, set legend to false when you call your chart factory; the items will still be available, as … Read more
A ScatterRenderer inherits getItemShape() from AbstractRenderer. You can override getItemShape() to supply your own shapes. Addendum: One advantage to this approach is that you can specify a Shape for each item in each series. Addendum: To use ShapeUtilities.createDiagonalCross(), do something like this: Shape cross = ShapeUtilities.createDiagonalCross(3, 1); plot = (XYPlot) chart.getPlot(); renderer = plot.getRenderer(); renderer.setSeriesShape(0, … Read more
Set the preferred size of the containing ChartPanel, not the chart, as shown here and here. Addendum: I don’t think you can usefully add a chart to a scroll pane. Instead, create a class similar to SlidingCategoryDataset that implements BoxAndWhiskerCategoryDataset. Add a scroll bar to the frame that controls the first displayed index. Addendum: A … Read more
I don’t think modifying a static image will work very well, as it will inevitably lead to registration errors and mismatched styles. Instead, integrate any rendering into the chart’s creation. Using the approach outlined here, the sscce below illustrates a few of the ways to customize the rendered shapes, colors and axes as desired. Addendum: … Read more
CombinedDomainXYPlot establishes the combined maximal Range for its shared domain axis in getDataRange(). This is required to allow the axis to be shared. Changing the visibility of a series has no effect on the shared domain axis; changing the Dataset updates the shared domain axis via its configure() method. In either case, the subplots’ range … Read more
When you create your ChartPanel, you have several options that affect the result: Accept the DEFAULT_WIDTH and DEFAULT_HEIGHT: 680 x 420. Specify the preferred width and height in the constructor. Invoke setPreferredSize() explicitly if appropriate. Override getPreferredSize() to calculate the size dynamically. @Override public Dimension getPreferredSize() { // given some values of w & h … Read more
Your snippet is incorrectly synchronized; you should update your dataset from the process() method of a SwingWorker, as shown here. Because your domain is “the number of my inner iterations”, don’t use a DateAxis; instead, use a NumberAxis, as shown in ChartFactory.createXYLineChart(). Addendum: This variation on the example plots the worker’s progress on a line … Read more
The class ChartPanel is convenient for this, as it has methods to control the chart’s overall appearance, including properties and zoom state. In addition it’s also possible to access the chart’s components, as shown below. This related example illustrates a JToolBar of zoom buttons. import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.EventQueue; import java.awt.FlowLayout; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import … Read more
