My renderer wont change shapes (XYDotRenderer)

[samoht]

Im trying to change a shape:

XYDotRenderer dotRenderer = new XYDotRenderer();
dotRenderer.setPaint(Color.black);
dotRenderer.setDotHeight(3);
dotRenderer.setDotWidth(3); dotRenderer.setBaseShape(org.jfree.chart.plot.DefaultDrawingSupplier.DEFAULT_SHAPE_SEQUENCE[6]);
xyplot.setRenderer(0, dotRenderer);

I have gone over all the setshape methods in the renderer but non works, it is always the same rectangle. If i try dotRenderer.setLegendShape(Shape) it works fine... but not the shape of the dot itself.. ideas?

If you look at the source for org.jfree.chart.renderer.xy.XYDotRenderer you will see that the shape of the dot is hardcoded

Code: Select all

252                    g2.fillRect((int) transY, (int) transX, this.dotHeight, 
253                            this.dotWidth);

Hi,

Try the function setSeriesShape instead of setBaseShape

Correct. For more generalised shapes, the XYLineAndShapeRenderer should be used instead (you can switch off the lines).

ah , thanks. I'll use the XYLineAndShapeRenderer then
