Guys,

Have any idea about this?
Let me put question in another way.

In an XYAreaChart, when area of any two series overlap, the corresponding colors get mixed resulting in a new color.
How to avoid this?
Please let me know if there any methods to dsiable this default behaviour.
Need help urgently.

Thanks in advance.
Pavan.

The colors being used are probably transparent. Try setting the alpha to 255

Hi,

Can you please be more specific as to how to set the alpha to 255?
And how would it help to resolve the issue?
I have tried changing the colors already.
Please let me know ASAP.

Thanks

here's how i turned off transparency

Code: Select all

			// Create the Chart
			chart = ChartFactory.createXYAreaChart(title,
									xAxisLabel,yAxisLabel,
									dataset,
									PlotOrientation.VERTICAL,
									true,  // legend
									false,  // tool tips
									false  // URLs
									);
			
			XYPlot plot = (XYPlot) chart.getPlot();
	        
			//set the color transparency
			plot.setForegroundAlpha(1f);
