New class CategoryBoxArrowtation anyone?

Post by DaveLaw » Sat Jul 07, 2012 8:32 am

Some time ago, I played around with an extension to CategoryPointerAnnotation.
Basically, it allows for wrapping the text over several lines & adds a box around
the annotation with transparency, taking account of Font-metrics etc.
Heres how it could look on a StackedBarChart3D:

At the moment its just a mockup.
Does anyone feel this could be of use?
If so, I could try and do some serious development on it...
Working name is CategoryBoxArrowtation .

Hi Dave!

This looks useful to me. I don't have need for it right now, but it is definitely something that shouldn't be lost.
I could of course be useful not only for CategoryPlot but for any type of plot. If you could contribute this to JFreeChart, it would be cool!
