Adding Text or Title to a Subchart

[cobragtk]

Hi all,
I am using a CombinedDomainXYPlot for my chart. I add 4 subplots to this. Can anyone tell me how I can add some text to the top left corner of each of the subplots? Essentially I want to have separate titles for each subplot. I have posted a picture below.
Thank you.

You could try to add an XYTitleAnnotation to each of the subplots, using 0.0 for both the x and y coordinate and RectangleAnchor.TOP_LEFT as anchor. Though you won´t be able to set the XYCoordinateType (neither in the constructor nor by a setter), the default XYCoordinateType.RELATIVE should do what you want.

I think my original intention with the coordinate type was to enable annotations to be attached to "data" items, so that they would follow the data item if its value changed. I should go back and implement that some time.

Hi guys,
Paradoxoff, thank you very much for your solution. It worked perfectly with the following tweak, basically the y coordinate I set to 1.0.

Code: Select all

public void addTitle(String text, Color color) {
TextTitle title = new TextTitle(text);
title.setPaint(color);
title.setPadding(2, 5, 0, 0);
XYTitleAnnotation ta = new XYTitleAnnotation(0.0, 1.0, title, RectangleAnchor.TOP_LEFT);
plot.addAnnotation(ta);
}

So Dave - does this mean that my code would not work if you implement the attaching of annotations to data items?

Thank you.

Your code will still work. Attaching an annotation to a data item would be an additional option, not a replacement of the existing feature.
