How to aviod axis label and legend scaling

[michael.kuettner]

For differnent sizes of the charts panel axis label and legend text always scales to different sizes.
At very large/wide screens this looks a little bit strange.

Is it possible to aviod these scaling? Is it possible to set a fixed size of a fixed area for the axis label?

The following two screenshots show the same chart at different window/frame sizes:

Create a ChartPanel with your chart, and add it to a JPanel having a layout that respects the panel's preferred size, e.g. FlowLayout, the default layout for JPanel. You can adjust the preferred size as shown here.

I don't want the whole panel to have a fixed size. The ChartPanel should scale into available space if the user resizes the frame. That's ok.
But i would like the text next to axis and the text in the legend to keep a fixed size (e.g. 12pt by default)!

GridLayout works well for that.

Call ChartPanel.setMinimumDrawWidth/Height with small value and ChartPanel.setMaximumDrawWidth/Height with large values than exceed the screen size of your monitor. Then, the ChartPanel will be scaled without being distorted.

The following lines solved this issue:

Code: Select all

    chartpanel.setMinimumDrawHeight(50);
    chartpanel.setMaximumDrawHeight(5000);

    chartpanel.setMinimumDrawWidth(50);
    chartpanel.setMaximumDrawWidth(5000);

Now the ChartPanel scales without distortion.
Thanks!
