Highlight a label? I think the best way to do that would be to change the Font and/or Color associated with the label. You should be able to do something like this:

Code: Select all

            XYPlot plot = (XYPlot) chart.getPlot();

            plot.getDomainAxis().setTickLabelPaint(Color.white);
            plot.getDomainAxis().setTickLabelFont(new Font("TimesRoman", Font.BOLD, 12));
            plot.getDomainAxis().setLabelPaint(Color.white);
            plot.getDomainAxis().setLabelFont(new Font("TimesRoman", Font.BOLD, 12));

chart is the JFreeChart object.

Good Luck,
Chris

I forgot to mention you can also pull the range info with

Code: Select all

plot.getRangeAxis()
