SpiderWeb Chart Legend Customization

[Krac]

Hello everybody

Is it possible to change the label of a desired item within a spider-web chart legend?

I went so far and got a LegendItemCollection and also the individual LegendItem(s) for the collection, but there is no setLabel method implemented!

So how can this be done?

For BarChart, I have overriden the StandardCategorySeriesLabelGenerator into a CustomizedCategorySeriesLabelGenerator and performed a
renderer.setLegendItemLabelGenerator with the new CustomizedCategorySeriesLabelGenerator... everything worked just smoothly.

TIA

After more study, I have found useful to override the getLegendItems() method of the SpiderWebPlot class, as follows:

Code: Select all

        public LegendItemCollection getLegendItems()
        {
         LegendItemCollection result = new LegendItemCollection();

          java.util.List keys = null;

          if (this.getDataExtractOrder() == TableOrder.BY_ROW) {
              keys = this.getDataset().getRowKeys();
          }
          else if (this.getDataExtractOrder() == TableOrder.BY_COLUMN) {
              keys = this.getDataset().getColumnKeys();
          }

          if (keys != null) {
              int series = 0;
              Iterator iterator = keys.iterator();
              Shape shape = getLegendItemShape();

              while (iterator.hasNext()) {
                  String label = iterator.next().toString(); // original label
                  label = CustomFunction4Label();           // new custom label
                  String description = label;

                  Paint paint = getSeriesPaint(series);
                  Paint outlinePaint = getSeriesOutlinePaint(series);
                  Stroke stroke = getSeriesOutlineStroke(series);
                  LegendItem item = new LegendItem(label, description,
                          null, null, shape, paint, stroke, outlinePaint);
                  result.add(item);
                  series++;
              }
          }
          return result;
        }

Anyhow, I would have found it more easy to just have a method setLabel() for the LegendItem class...
