Chart background based on theme.

[develop]

is there anyway to set the chart background color based on theme used in application and not hard coded to specific one. ?

Thanks

The setBackground...() methods of JFreeChart and Plot classes perhaps??

Only if you have some means to ask the application what the appropriate theme color is. Once you have that, just set the background color of the plot(s) in the normal manner. I cannot think of any automatic way since the color the user application might want might not be what you expect.

actually we have main two theme, one which is all light colors and one is with all dark color (day trading).

user can switch between those, and i was looking for some automatic way, if Jfreechart gets background color from theme.

Thanks for reply

Assuming that your "theme" is related to the PLAF, did you try something like this yet?

Code: Select all

chart.setBackgroundPaint(UIManager.getColor("control"));
