Symbols in the scatter plot

[Young-Jin Lee]

Hi, I have a question on how to change symbols in JFreeChart.
Is there any way to use various symbols in the JFreeChart? It seems like that a circle is a default symbol in the JFreeChart, but it would be very useful to use other symbols such as a rectangle or a triangle.

Thanks in advance.

There are two getShape(...) methods in the Plot class that determine the shapes that will be used. This code is incomplete, because I haven't added a mechanism for developers to add their own shapes without modifying the JFreeChart code directly...

Hi,

Are you going to implement it in the near future?
Can I know when it will be done?
Thanks for your help.

May I suggest that scatterplots should also be able to uses Images as well as Shapes. As for adding own shapes - I will need this feature very soon myself and would be more than happy to contribute anything I can come up with to the project.

I committed some code to CVS on SourceForge yesterday, contributed by Andreas Schneider and Jeremy Bowman, that significantly improves the shape support in JFreeChart for both the scatter plot and other chart types.

It is contributions like these that keep making JFreeChart better, so I want to say a big thanks to these developers (and others) for taking the time to package up their modifications and contribute them to the project.

Regards,

I have a little problem in accessing CVS.
Are you going to include this function in near future? Then I will wait for a new release.
Thanks in advance.

A lot of changes have been made in the CVS version of JFreeChart, so a new release is overdue. But I have a few more things I need to work on before I package up the release. I hope version 0.9.0 can be released in the next two weeks, but I won't make that a promise because I can't predict how much time I will have available...
