Showing data points

[RedSoxFan620]

I guess this is a stupid question, but how do I get data points to show? I did a createXYLineChart and it makes a line, but it doesn't show the points. I've tried for hours but I have no idea how to make it show the points.

This is how you do it given the JFreeChart object returned by ChartFactory.createXYLineChart():

Code: Select all

JFreeChart chart = createXYLineChart(...);
XYPlot plot = chart.getXYPlot();
XYLineAndShapeRenderer renderer = (XYLineAndShapeRenderer)plot.getRenderer();
renderer.setBaseShapesVisible(true);

Sometimes it is just easier to build the JFreeChart from the ground up without using the ChartFactory methods if you want a more custom plot.
