Better solution for PanMask in ChartPanel?

[MitchBuell]

I apologize for using this Forum instead of SourceForge, but I'm having issues with our network reaching SourceForge.

There may be a better way to change the PanMask in ChartPanel for different operating systems. Java provides a method that takes into account different key modifiers on different operating systems.

Code: Select all

Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getMenuShortcutKeyMask();

Determines which modifier key is the appropriate accelerator key for menu shortcuts. By default, this method returns Event.CTRL_MASK. On a Mac, this returns COMMAND (Cloverleaf) which is the system wide modifier key.

While you're not accessing a menu, it is something to consider. Apple discusses it here: http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/ ... ation.html

Thanks for the tip. I'm not 100% familiar with the Mac (I have one at home, but it is mainly used by my children and I just test JFreeChart on it from time to time), so I don't know what is the preferred way to handle this...but I'm sure the current setup isn't optimal. Seems to work alright though.
