Overlay animation centered on chart?

[Ted Hill]

I want to be able to overlay an animation centered on my chart while data is loading.

Any suggestions how to do this with FreeChart?

Thanks,

One suggestion would be to use JXLayer to draw an animation over the chart panel. Check out demo 2 on the JXLayer page:

Select the "BusyPainter" option, then lock and unlock.

I've actually been meaning to integrate this type of feature into the ChartPanel class, but haven't gotten around to it so far.
