You see, what I'm aiming for is more along the lines of

While, so far all I've been able to manage is

No matter how far I zoom in, the candlesticks do not increase in width.
I'm fairly certain that somehow the thin candlesticks have something to do with being bound to a certain time range.. I've tried to remedy that but am not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
Code:
Code: Select all
public void showStockHistory(OHLCDataset dataset, String stockName) {
JFreeChart candleChart = ChartFactory.createCandlestickChart("History of " + stockName, "Date", "Stock Points", dataset, true);
XYPlot plot = candleChart.getXYPlot();
plot.setDomainPannable(true);
plot.setRangePannable(true);
ValueAxis domain = plot.getDomainAxis();
domain.setAutoRange(true);
NumberAxis range = (NumberAxis)plot.getRangeAxis();
range.setUpperMargin(0.0D);
range.setLowerMargin(0.0D);
range.setAutoRange(true);
range.setAutoRangeIncludesZero(false);
ChartPanel chartPanel = new ChartPanel(candleChart);
chartPanel.setMouseWheelEnabled(true);
chartPanel.setMouseZoomable(true);
getViewport().add(chartPanel);
}
