Java – change the shape of the scatter point

I have thousands of points on JfreeChart's scatter chart

//* I'm using shapeutilities, but when I use xyitemrenderer / xydotrenderer, it doesn't change the shape pointing to "daigonalcross" – if there are any errors in the code, please make any corrections.. *///

Solution

Scatterrender inherits getitemshape() from 0700 You can override getitemshape () to provide your own shape

Appendix: one advantage of this method is that you can specify a shape for each item in each series

Appendix: to use shapeutilities Creatediagonalcross(), please do the following:

Shape cross = ShapeUtilities.createDiagonalCross(3,1);
plot = (XYPlot) chart.getPlot();
renderer = plot.getRenderer();
renderer.setSeriesShape(0,cross);

Appendix: just switch to setseriesshape() Also, skip xydotrenderer and math round().
