      • destroy

        public void destroy()
        Destroys the chart.

        This method is only of interest if you have an application that dynamically adds and removes charts. So if you use the same Chart2D object(s) during the applications lifetime there is no need to use this method.

      • enablePointHighlighting

        public boolean enablePointHighlighting​(boolean onoff)
        Switches point highlighting on or off depending on the given argument.

        Turning off this removes a MouseMotionListener and therefore avoids receiving a lot of mouse events which will result in potentially very expensive (many traces with many points) computations to find the nearest point corresponding to the mouse pointer. So dropping the point highlighting feature may result in much better real time performance.

        Keep in mind that the view part of point highlighting is configured by configuring the point highlighters for your traces: ITrace2D.addPointHighlighter(IPointPainter).

        This method might trigger a PropertyChangeEvent being fired on all instances registered by Container.addPropertyChangeListener(java.lang.String, java.beans.PropertyChangeListener) (registered with String argument PROPERTY_POINT_HIGHLIGHTING_ENABLED).

        Parameters:
        onoff - if true the closest point to the cursor will be highlighted, if false you might gain performance by having this feature turned off!
        Returns:
        true if a change of this state did take place (you did not call this at least twice with the same argument).

                                                   int mouseEventY)
        Returns the nearest ITracePoint2D to the given mouse event's screen coordinates in Euclid distance.

        This method is expensive and should not be used when rendering fast changing charts with many points.

        Using the Manhattan distance is much faster than Euclid distance as it only includes basic addition an absolute value for computation per point (vs. square root, addition and quadrature for Euclid distance). However the euclid distance spans a circle for the nearest points which is visually more normal for end users than the Manhattan distance which forms a rhombus and reaches far distances in only one dimension.

        Parameters:
        mouseEventX - the x pixel value relative to the chart (e.g.: MouseEvent.getY()).
        mouseEventY - the y pixel value relative to the chart (e.g.: MouseEvent.getY()).
        Returns:

        Returns the nearest MouseEvent to the given mouse event's screen coordinates in Euclid distance.

        This method is expensive and should not be used when rendering fast changing charts with many points.

        Note that the given mouse event should be an event fired on this chart component. Else results will point to the nearest point of the chart in the direction of the mouse event's position.

        Using the Manhattan distance is much faster than Euclid distance as it only includes basic addition an absolute value for computation per point (vs. square root, addition and quadrature for Euclid distance).

        Parameters:
        me - a mouse event fired on this component.
        Returns:
        nearest MouseEvent to the given mouse event's screen coordinates or null if the chart is empty.

      • paint

        public void paint​(java.awt.Graphics g)
        This method is just overridden to ensure a lock on this instance and then a lock on Component.getTreeLock() just as it has to be done in that order in addTrace(ITrace2D, IAxis, IAxis).

        More info: This lock is needed to ensure a lock on the tree is acquired before a lock to the chart. Method addTrace has a code path that might descend into ChartPanel where Container.getComponents() (in method containsTraceLabel()) will require the tree lock after having already acquired the chart lock -> deadlock between paint thread and addTrace thread when using ChartPanel.

      • setAxisX

        @Deprecated
        public java.util.List<IAxis<?>> setAxisX​(AAxis<?> axisX)
        Deprecated.
        Sets the first bottom x axis to use.

        This is compatibility support for the API of jchart2d prior to 3.0.0 where only one x axis was supported.

        Parameters:
        axisX - the first bottom x axis to use.
        Returns:
        a copied List with the previous bottom x IAxis instance that was used at position 0.

                                       int position)
        Sets the bottom x axis on the given position to use and replaces the old one on that place.

        This method delegates to addAxisXBottom(AAxis) and also uses removeAxisXBottom(IAxis) in case a bottom x axis was configured at the position. So the events PROPERTY_AXIS_X will be fired for remove and add.

        Furthermore this method uses "replace - semantics". The ITrace2D instances contained in the previous x bottom axis will be implanted to this new axis. Also the title and stuff like grid settings will be transferred. For this an event with property PROPERTY_AXIS_X_BOTTOM_REPLACE is fired.

        Note that PropertyChangeListeners of the axis will not be transferred silently to the new axis but have to handle their unregistering from the old axis / registering to the new axis from outside to give them the chance to manage their state transitions by themselves.
        Before the state of the old axis is transferred they will receive PropertyChangeListener.propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent) with PROPERTY_AXIS_X_BOTTOM_REPLACE as code and the old and new axis as values and have the change to change their peer to listen on thus receiving the change events generated on the new axis. At the moment the replace event is sent they will already have received the event PROPERTY_AXIS_X event for the removal: So be careful not to react on that first event by removing your listener from the axis as you then will not receive the replace event!

        Parameters:
        axisX - the first bottom x axis to use.
        position - the index of the axis on bottom x dimension (starting from 0).
        Returns:
        the previous axis on that bottom x position or null.

        Furthermore this method uses "replace - semantics". The ITrace2D instances contained in the previous x top axis will be implanted to this new axis. Also the title and stuff like grid settings will be transferred. For this an event with property PROPERTY_AXIS_Y_LEFT_REPLACE is fired.

        Note that PropertyChangeListeners of the axis will not be transferred silently to the new axis but have to handle their unregistering from the old axis / registering to the new axis from outside to give them the chance to manage their state transitions by themselves.
        Before the state of the old axis is transferred they will receive PropertyChangeListener.propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent) with PROPERTY_AXIS_X_TOP_REPLACE as code and the old and new axis as values and have the change to change their peer to listen on thus receiving the change events generated on the new axis.

        public final void setRequestedRepaint​(boolean requestedRepaint)
        Sets the requestedRepaint.

        Internal method to request a repaint that guarantees that two invocations of will always have at least have an interval of getMinPaintLatency() ms.

        Methods repaint(), repaint(long), repaint(Rectangle), repaint(int, int, int, int) and repaint(long, int, int, int, int) must not be called from application code that has to inform the UI to update the chart directly or a performance problem may arise as java awt / swing implementation does not guarantee to collapse several repaint requests into a single one but prefers to issue many paint invocations causing a high CPU load in realtime scenarios (adding several 100 points per second to a chart).

        If the width and height of this chart is zero (this happens when the chart has not been JComponent.setVisible(boolean), the chart was not integrated into layout correctly or the chart's dimenision was set to this value, a default of width 600 and height 400 will temporarily be set (syncrhonized), the image will be rendered, the old dimension will be reset and the image will be returned.
        If you want to paint offscreen images (without displayed chart) prefer invoke snapShot(int, int) instead.

        Returns:
        a BufferedImage of the Chart2D's graphics that may be written to a file or OutputStream.
