Method Detail

getChartTheme

public static ChartTheme getChartTheme()

Returns the current chart theme used by the factory.

Returns:

The chart theme.

Since:

1.0.11

setChartTheme(ChartTheme), ChartUtilities.applyCurrentTheme(JFreeChart)

setChartTheme

public static void setChartTheme(ChartTheme theme)

Sets the current chart theme. This will be applied to all new charts created via methods in this class.

Parameters:

theme - the theme (null not permitted).

Since:

1.0.11

createScatterPlot

public static JFreeChart createScatterPlot(java.lang.String title,
                                           java.lang.String xAxisLabel,
                                           java.lang.String yAxisLabel,
                                           XYDataset dataset)

Creates a scatter plot with default settings. The chart object returned by this method uses an XYPlot instance as the plot, with a NumberAxis for the domain axis, a NumberAxis as the range axis, and an XYLineAndShapeRenderer as the renderer.

Parameters:

title - the chart title (null permitted).

xAxisLabel - a label for the X-axis (null permitted).

yAxisLabel - a label for the Y-axis (null permitted).

dataset - the dataset for the chart (null permitted).

Returns:

A scatter plot.

Since:

1.0.16

createScatterPlot

public static JFreeChart createScatterPlot(java.lang.String title,
                                           java.lang.String xAxisLabel,
                                           java.lang.String yAxisLabel,
                                           XYDataset dataset,
                                           PlotOrientation orientation,
                                           boolean legend,
                                           boolean tooltips,
                                           boolean urls)

Creates a scatter plot with default settings. The chart object returned by this method uses an XYPlot instance as the plot, with a NumberAxis for the domain axis, a NumberAxis as the range axis, and an XYLineAndShapeRenderer as the renderer.

Parameters:

title - the chart title (null permitted).

xAxisLabel - a label for the X-axis (null permitted).

yAxisLabel - a label for the Y-axis (null permitted).

dataset - the dataset for the chart (null permitted).

orientation - the plot orientation (horizontal or vertical) (null NOT permitted).

legend - a flag specifying whether or not a legend is required.

tooltips - configure chart to generate tool tips?

urls - configure chart to generate URLs?

Returns:

A scatter plot.
