paint series lines above annotations

[shethab]

I wanted some custom behavior with ValueMarkers. I was told that it was not possible and i sould use these Annotation classes

http://sourceforge.net/p/jfreechart/patches/316/

Code: Select all

XYDomainValueAnnotation dva = new XYDomainValueAnnotation();
        dva.setLabel("Test Value Annotation");
        dva.setStroke(new BasicStroke(5.0f));
        dva.setValue(System.currentTimeMillis()+86400000L);
        dva.setLabelTextAnchor(TextAnchor.TOP_LEFT);
        dva.setLabelAnchor(RectangleAnchor.TOP_LEFT);
        dva.setRotationAnchor(TextAnchor.TOP_LEFT);
        plot.addAnnotation(dva)

So everything works now but the annotation lines appear on top of the Series lines. How can i move the annotation lines to the background.

You can add the annotation to the renderer instead of to the plot.
if you add the annotation to the renderer, you can specifiy a Layer attribute. Use Layer.BACKGROUND for your case.
