Hi,
We have used JFreeChart for some time. We found that it display the category string with too much space.
We want to change to a thinner font like Arial Narrow. Can any one suggest the sample code to change font. Does java.awt.Font support other fonts?
Thanks.

Hi Kenny,
You can use java.awt.Font for any font you have installed on your system. I usually try to stick to the Java logical fonts, since they are guaranteed to be on all systems, but there's nothing to stop you accessing other fonts by name:
CategoryPlot plot = myChart.getCategoryPlot();
CategoryAxis axis = plot.getDomainAxis();
Font font = new Font("Arial Narrow", Font.PLAIN, 10);
axis.setTickLabelFont(font);

DG
