Candles overlap in the candlestickchart

Hi All,

Is there anyway to make the candles in the candlestickchart not to overlap with each other? I have a lot of data within the chart and want them to fit together nicely. And the gaps between the data are really anonying, is there anyway to turn them off?

Thanks and regards,
Wtw

The javadocs for the setCandleWidth(...) method in the CandlestickRenderer class say:

Javadocs wrote:If you set the width to a negative value, the renderer will calculate the candle width automatically based on the space available on the chart.

Give it a try.

The following will make a more suitable default for the auto-width-method:

Code: Select all

        candlestickRenderer.setAutoWidthMethod(CandlestickRenderer.WIDTHMETHOD_SMALLEST);

A word of warning: This is horribly horribly inefficient if there is anything above 1000 candles.
