Tooltip problem with XYLineAndShapeRenderer

[stu]

I have a chart that uses XYLineAndShapeRenderer and plots a series a points with custom shapes like this:

Code: Select all

renderer.setSeriesShape(0, new Rectangle2D.Double(-3, -3, 6, 6));

Tooltips are then generated like this:

Code: Select all

renderer.setBaseToolTipGenerator(new StandardXYToolTipGenerator());
renderer.setURLGenerator(new StandardXYURLGenerator());

Everything works fine until a point is plotted that has a zero value on either axis. The point appears correctly, but no tooltip is generated so it is not clickable.

I thought the problem might because the zero point is only partially visible (since the shape is centered on zero and the axis starts at zero) so i fudged the shape to be:

Code: Select all

renderer.setSeriesShape(0, new Rectangle2D.Double(-6, -6, 6, 6));

This makes the entire shape visible (although no longer centered on the data point) but still a tooltip isn't generated.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

This appears to be a bug in XYShapeRenderer.
In the method
drawSecondaryPass()
The check to see if a symbol should be drawn is

Code: Select all

            if (shape.intersects(dataArea)) {

However the code to decide whether to generate an entity (and thus a tooltip) is

Code: Select all

        if (entities != null && dataArea.contains(xx, yy)) {

The problem is 0,0 gets translated and the Y value apperas to be equal to the max value of the data area. However Rectangle.contains() checks y >= 0 but y<max so it make is look like a point at Y value zero is not in the data area so the entity doesn't get added.

Correct, it is a bug exactly as RoyW describes. I've added an entry in the bug database at SourceForge:

It shouldn't be hard to fix this one.

Roy, David, thanks for the quick reply I'll monitor the bug and retest when its fixed.
