Legend Display OFF - caused series color change

[Paul Belleville]

All:
It seems as though the series colors change ordering depending on whether or not I include legends when calling the following methods:
ChartFactory.createHistogram
ChartFactory.createScatterPlot

If I call those methods with display legend set to true then the series are red then blue (for a 2 series graph). If I call it with legends set to false, then it is blue then red.

However, using ChartFactory.createBoxAndWhiskerChart does the correct thing and the series are red then blue regardless of whether or not I have set legends to true or false.

This makes it confusing because I have one application that draws all three graphs of the same data on the same screen for comparison. If legends are ON, then everything matches. If the user selects and option I have to turn legends OFF, then the colors don't match from the histogram and statter to the boxplot since the series colors are reversed on 2 of them.
I am using the default colors that the graphs automatically draw with.
Any ideas?

Thanks
Paul

I have more data for you all.
I graphed a series of 5 and I noticed that it is simply reversing the colors and symbols for each series.

So intead of Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple when legends are ON, it displays the graph as Purple, Yellow, Green, Blue, Red when legends are OFF. Also, for the scatter plot where each series has a different symbol, those are also changing and following the color as they move.

Let me know.

Hi

Did anyone manage to solve this problem? I'm on version 1.0.5 and am having the same issues...

Thanks,

Hi guys, after tracing through the source code (somewhat unnecessarily), you can actually set the SeriesRenderingOrder for your plot by doing this:

Code: Select all

xyplot.removeLegend();
xyplot.setSeriesRenderingOrder(SeriesRenderingOrder.FORWARD);

Hope that helps,
