Point Symbols/Markers/Shapes

Hello,

Is there a library of different Point Symbols/Markers/Shapes and an easy way to use them instead of circles in a ScatterPlot? There was some talk of this on another thread some time ago:
http://jfree.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p ... a7db182089

Ideally I would like to use crosses which are mainly transparent as many of the points in the data I am displaying overlap. Using crosses for example should make it clearer as to where all the data is.

Many thanks for your help,

Andy

The default set of shapes used by JFreeChart is created in the createStandardSeriesShapes() method of the DefaultDrawingSupplier class. The renderer looks these up on an as-needed basis.

You always, of course, have the option of supplying your own shape to the renderer via the setSeriesShape(int, Shape) method - just pass in any Shape instance that is centered on (0, 0).
