Make a TimeSeries invisible, then visible again

[dustman]

Hello!

I'm new to JFreeChart, so sorry about my noobish questions. Well, here goes: I have a TimeSeries object, that I want to make invisible (so it won't appear on the chart), and when I click a button to make it visible again. During the time the TimeSeries is invisible, I still want data to be added to it, so when I make it visible, the whole series to be showed, as it was never invisible. Think this is possible? If so, every suggestion is most welcome .


Thanks in advance!

The renderer has a setSeriesVisible() method that you can use to hide a series temporarily.

Hello!

Thanks for the quick answer David! Yeah, I've noticed that today when I played around to make a dotted series instead of a line series.



Cheers!

Hi

I changed the renderer from StandardXYItemRenderer to XYDotRenderer, and now the timeseries doesn't become invisible when using:

Code: Select all

((XYDotRenderer)subplot1.getRendererForDataset(subplot1.getDataset(0))).setSeriesVisible(0, false);		((XYDotRenderer)subplot2.getRendererForDataset(subplot2.getDataset(0))).setSeriesVisible(0, false);

I have 2 XYPlots, each having it's own renderer and timeseries.


P.S. even if i use the renderers as global variables, and write something like this:

Code: Select all

plotRenderer1.setSeriesVisible(0,false);

i still don't get the expected result.


Cheers,

Hello!

Just today I have succeeded in making my series invisible. I needed a series formed by dots, so I used XYLineAndShapeRenderer, set a rectangle ( new Rectangle(1,1) ) as shape, and set the series lines invisible ( setSeriesLinesVisibile(false) ) ; and it works! My series becomes invisible when calling:

Code: Select all

(subplot1.getRendererForDataset(subplot1.getDataset(0))).setSeriesVisible(0, false, true);

I think that XYDotRenderer has a bug, so that it doesn't make the series invisible, even though this feature works fine with StandardXYItemRenderer and XYLineAndShapeRenderer.
