Bar Chart question

dmacleod · Post by **dmacleod** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 3:37 pm

I have a bar chart, and would like to know when a user clicks on a bar then get the label for that bar. Is there a way to do this?

thanks

Add a ChartMouseListener to the ChartPanel.

If I add a ChartMouseListener, do I have to calculate x y coordinates or does the chart know what bar the mouse is over? Do you have an example of this, I couldn't find anything in the JFreeChart developers guide.

thanks

Take a look at MouseListenerDemo2.java.
