I'm using JFreeChart 1.0.14 in Swing application.
I have chart with multiple Y-Axis and I want to change source Axis for chart grid lines. Now them always base on one axis, even if I hide it.
I know there are few similar questions but they are old and I wonder if solution exists now.
If it doesn't what is the best workaround in this task?
For example:
http://www.jfree.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=27885&sid=c4c609f3809d29a46e3e2bbccfac361e
There is still no way to do it natively unfortunately.
I was suggested to override XYPlot's drawRangeGridLines method, but I decided to go another way: to make it works you only need to change axis order because grid lines always depend on 0th axis (and its dataset). Make sure your axis has 0th index in plot axis collection.
NumberAxis axis = new NumberAxis(name);
plot.setRangeAxis(0, axis);
I think it's easiest way at this moment.

Basically I am attempting to use JFreeChart right now to graph some values. The only problem is that the values are incredibly minuscule, e.g 7.069781E-13. I believe these values are too small for JFreeChart to display. How can I display these small values visually in Java in a line chart format?
It looks like this currently:
And I want to make it look similar to this:
I found a work around.
I simply multiplied all the values by a factor of 100 so the graph now looks similar to the one in the example. I will include a disclaimer in the legend saying the chart has been multiplied by a factor to clearly see the line chart.
Also consider these alternative:
Invoke setRange(), seen here, to expand the y axis in the area of interest.
Add suitable controls, seen here, to control y zoom.
Advise users how to use the mouse for zoom control, as shown here.
Can I change the maximum value of Axis if LineChart is drawn already?
I know about setUpperBound() method, but I see that it works well when it is used with initialization of chart. But I want to change upper and lower bounds of an existed chart (there is no result).
The problem was in auto ranging.
Desicion:
yAxis.setAutoRanging(false);
I've created a XYChart with numerical values different (for example temperatue with pressure) so I want to draw my own axeS just beside my chart. To do the following I've to unshow the YAxis, how should I do that ?
By using a trick: The Chart needs the Y Axis to remain in place so it knows where to render your content. You can, however, hide it. Hide the tick labels and set the axis' opacity to 0 using this code:
chart.getYAxis().setTickLabelsVisible(false);
chart.getYAxis().setOpacity(0);
The axis will still be there, but not shown.
I found that if I hid the chart using the following code:
chart.getXAxis().setTickLabelsVisible(false);
chart.getXAxis().setTickMarkVisible(false);
((Path)chart.getXAxis().lookup(".axis-minor-tick-mark")).setVisible(false);
Then I get about ~10 pixels less blank space on the bottom. IF the space was an issue for your application then you could use css offsets to correct it. This solution may have more predictable offsets.
SOLVED: I got this to work for sharing a common x-axis for two charts stacked vertically:
Create two charts, each with their own identical copy of the x-axis object, setting identical upper and lower bounds (optionally by binding).
Then hide the x-axis in the second chart like this:
chart = new LineChart<Number,Number>(xaxis2,yaxis2) {
{// hide xAxis in constructor, since not public
getChartChildren().remove(getXAxis());
// not getPlotChildren()
}
};
You'll want to set the widths of your y-axes to be the identical, e.g.
int w = 60;
yaxis.setMaxWidth(w);
yaxis.setMinWidth(w);
yaxis.setPrefWidth(w);
yaxis2.setMaxWidth(w);
yaxis2.setMinWidth(w);
yaxis2.setPrefWidth(w);
Is it possible to make an XYChart that has its axis hidden? Ideally removed.
From looking at source it seems that it must have one due to the limitation that XYChart does not check for null Axis when layoutChartChildren() is called, which is a shame since XYChart provides for multiple data series and the addition of data in a series.
IMO a separation of concern from the Axis.
Any thoughts on a solution?
After you have shown a stage displaying the chart, call:
for (Node n: chart.lookupAll(".axis")) {
n.setVisible(false);
}
I'm using a combined plot composed of 2 graph which share the same X axis (by sharing, I mean, the timeframe is the same for the two graph). The upper graph is a regular timeseries while the lower chart is a barchart. I would like to display a crosshair on the combined chart as a whole... Right now I can display crosshair only on each graph separately even thought I have specify on the combined plot that I wanted to display the crosshair. To be more explicit, I can't synchronise both crosshair... Any idea on how to achieve that ?
thanks
It would appear to work if you use a shared domain axis, as discussed here and as shown in CrosshairDemo2? In addition, an sscce might help clarify your usage.
