How to set font of Label in PIE chart

[abhay.asingh]

Hi

How can i set Label font in pie chart, i tries these
PiePlot.setLabelFont() will set fonts for the labels of each Section of pie,
chart.getLegent().setItemFont() will set font for the legends...
but i didn't any thing for Labels written below the pie charts.

in this chart label 2008/06/01 --- AUM is not coming proper because character between date and "AUM" is not supported by the font being used, so i need to change font for this Label.

Thanks in Advance

The text with the ___aum looks like the chart title or a subtitle, in any case it should be a TextTitle. You can change the font of that title by calling title.setFont(Font f);.

Hi
Thanks for reply,
I tried 1st with title and here is the code i have written

Code: Select all

TextTitle title = jf.getTitle();
title.setFont(new Font("Arial Unicode MS", 0, 6));

But this didn't work, then i went for subtitle thing

Code: Select all

TextTitle subtitle;
for(int ix=0; ix<jf.getSubtitleCount(); ix++){
    subtitle = (TextTitle) jf.getSubtitle(ix);
    subtitle.setFont(new Font("Arial Unicode MS", 0, 1));
}

but this is giving exception "ClassCastException", because subtitle is of Title class and not TextTile.
So useing proper class casing i.e. using Title we can't set Font becasue setFont() Method is not suported by
Title or LegendTitle class.

please let me know i did some thing worng....
and what else i can do to make it working....?

I was not saying that every subtitle of the chart is a TextTitle. In fact, the list with subtitles also includes the legend.
I meant that the title in question (with the "__AUM") is (most certainly) a TextTitle, and you should be abale to use the setFont(Font font) method.
W/o the source code, it is difficult to clarify the origin of the title in question, its type and finally possible ways to change its font.

Hi

Here is the code i am using for this pie chart

Code: Select all

jf = ChartFactory.createMultiplePieChart("", (CategoryDataset) dataset[0], TableOrder.BY_ROW, true, true, true);
MultiplePiePlot mp = (MultiplePiePlot) jf.getPlot();
JFreeChart jc = mp.getPieChart();
PiePlot pp = (PiePlot) jc.getPlot();
pp.setLabelGenerator(new StandardPieSectionLabelGenerator( "{0} ({2})", NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(), NumberFormat.getPercentInstance()));                               
pp.setLabelFont(new Font("Arial Unicode MS", 0, 10));
pp.setSectionOutlinesVisible(true);
pp.setBaseSectionOutlinePaint(new Color(0xFFFFFF));
pp.setBaseSectionOutlineStroke(new BasicStroke(2F));

jf.getLegend().setItemFont(new Font("Arial Unicode MS", 0, 10));
TextTitle title = jf.getTitle();
title.setFont(new Font("Arial Unicode MS", 0, 6));
TextTitle subtitle;
for(int ix=0; ix<jf.getSubtitleCount(); ix++){
   subtitle = (TextTitle) jf.getSubtitle(ix);
   log.debug("subtitle="+subtitle);
  subtitle.setFont(new Font("Arial Unicode MS", 0, 1));
}
pp = null;

and here is the dataset
スキームコード | 2008/06/01 クロージングAUM

_______________________________________________

As you see, one of heading of dataset is "2008/06/01 クロージング AUM", this is what i am printing below my pie chart, because of font its showing square box instead of actual string, that is why i want to set its font which support this language(japanease).

Thanks for your time.

OK, now we no longer talk about a PiePlot but about a MultiplePiePlot which is a different thing.
As discussed in one of your previous threads, a MultiplePiePlot has an "internal JFreeChart" which in turn has an internal PiePlot. The "internal" JFreeChart/PiePlot combination is used to draw the individual PiePlots of the MultiplePiePlot.
The title in question is the chart title of the "internal JFreeChart" which can be accessed by (following your code fragment above)

Code: Select all

jc.getTitle();//NOT jf!!
