Outlines in 2D line charts

[itai.marko]

Hi,

In 3D line charts, code like this:

Code: Select all

LineRenderer3D renderer = (LineRenderer3D) plot.getRenderer();
renderer.setBaseOutlinePaint(Color.white);
renderer.setBaseOutlineStroke(new BasicStroke(3.0f), false);

will surround the whole line with a pretty thick white outline as expected.
However, In 2D line charts, code like:

Code: Select all

LineAndShapeRenderer renderer = (LineAndShapeRenderer) plot.getRenderer();
renderer.setBaseOutlinePaint(Color.white);
renderer.setBaseOutlineStroke(new BasicStroke(3.0f), false);

will surround only the shapes with an outline and not in white but in the same color as the line.

My questions are:
a. Is this a bug? (I'm using version 1.0.12)
b. Is there a way to get the outlines in 2D like they are in 3D?


Thanks,
Itai

The LineAndShapeRenderer doesn't have outlines for the lines, just the shapes. For ease of use, the series paint is used for both the outline and fill paint for the shapes, but you can override that with the setUseFillPaint() and setUseOutlinePaint() methods.

Thanks for the quick reply.
So what do I need to do If I want to get outlines for the lines?

You'll have to modify the LineAndShapeRenderer code, because right now it just draws a single line between the data points (using the seriesPaint).
