invert color in thermometer

[Fry]

Hi JFreChart freaks

one question: it is possible to change the colors of the thermometer? I want to use this chart for another issue than temperature and red and green should be replaced by each other. Is there a way to do this?

Thx
Fry

You can use the methods setMercuryPaint() and setSubrangePaint() in the ThermometerPlot class.

Hi David,

thank you very much for your answer. I checked both methods and also looked in the source code. It seems to me, that i can set the lines (seperators) beside the thermometer and the setMercuryPaint is usefull if i want to change the content color. But how to call? The following way does not change anything:

Code: Select all

public void addTempExample() {
	
	DefaultValueDataset dataset = new DefaultValueDataset(new Double(99.0));

	ThermometerPlot plot = new ThermometerPlot(dataset);
	plot.setMercuryPaint(Color.BLUE);

        JFreeChart chart = new JFreeChart(
            "reached points",  // chart title
            JFreeChart.DEFAULT_TITLE_FONT,
            plot,                  // plot
            false                  // no legend
            );
	
	alertPanelRight = new ChartPanel(chart);
	
    }

can anybody give me some code snipped for this?

See you
Fry

Hi folks

i found it by myself, ignore post please, by setting:

Code: Select all

plot.setSubrange(0, 30.0, 60.0);
	plot.setSubrange(1, 60.1, 90.0);
	plot.setSubrange(2, 90.1, 100.0);
	
	plot.setSubrangePaint(2, Color.GREEN);
	plot.setSubrangePaint(1, Color.ORANGE);
	plot.setSubrangePaint(0, Color.RED);

it works now

cya
