Multi-value functions?

blueser · Post by **blueser** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 11:26 pm

Hi all,

this is probably (hopefully!

) a newbie question

I need to plot some "multi-value functions", which means that for a given x I might have multiple y values, e.g. f(x) --> {y1, y2,...}.

Is it possible? If so, what's the recommended way to do it?

TIA

Andre

ChartFactory.createScatterPlot()?

Hi David, thks for the reply. My description of the problem was not accurate, my bad. Actually, I just realized I might have no problem at all

ScatterPlot would indeed allow f(x) = {y1, y2, ...}, but that's not really what I need. What I really need is to be able to plot eg. an "alpha-shaped" curve. In other words, x-values need to be able to go back and forth, with arbitrary y-values (repetitions allowed for both x and y values). I just tested and good old plain XYSeries with autoSort = false fits the bill just fine

I was really missing something very basic

Thks again,

Andre
