More detail in chart

Post by Paulers » Fri Oct 18, 2002 4:37 am

Hi there, I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. Im doing a time graph on snapshots in time I was wondering what jfreechart options do I use if I want more detail out of the graph. Im graphing a whole days worth of data in 10 minute intervals but my graph only shows a general timespan at the bottom. I hope I'm makking sense :) I would like to see all the snapshots at the bottom of the graph if possible.

Thanks for listening to me ramble on :)

Hi Paulers,

The spacing of the ticks on the axis is independent of the data you are displaying. If you are not seeing enough ticks, you can set a tick unit manually, but then you must take responsibility for ensuring that the tick labels do not overlap. Use the setTickUnit(...) method in the DateAxis class.

Regards,

DG

Hi,

may be, another option would be to use vertical labels:

HorizontalDateAxis timeAxis = new HorizontalDateAxis("");
timeAxis.setVerticalTickLabels(true);
