Help with font size please

[dgarratt]

I would like to be able to reduce the font shown in the green box in the image url below. Although this example does not present a problem I will be looking a recording a lot more entries and I would like to be able to display as many points as possible.

I am using JFreeChart 1.5 files but I've not found an example of how to adjust the font size.

The only text I found online was https://stackoverflow.com/questions/214 ... jfreechart

but I've not had any luck applying it to my code which is based on the demo source DualAxisDemo2.java

Many thanks in advance.

You can use the setTickLabelFont() method:

Code: Select all

plot.getDomainAxis().setTickLabelFont(new Font(Font.DIALOG, Font.BOLD, 6));

Just note in the demo that the line

Code: Select all

ChartUtils.applyCurrentTheme(chart);

will override any formatting changes you make, so you should either adjust the theme, or make your changes after the theme has been applied.

Thank you for this - I will give it a try,
