Hi again,

I have a problem.

i have a timeseries chart, and i need to "make a specific point in the series to be different from the others... ( maybe a new color shape/etc). and there is a condition for that.. (when the y value is higher than a limit.. that point need be diferent from the others )

i was checking how to configure lines/shapes/etc. but didnt think in how to bypass this problem..

Thanks in advance...

Phillip

The easiest way would be to use annotations - see the "Annotations" page of the example web. The text could be blank if you just want the pointing arrow.

Thanks Ulf Dittmer for the answer.

yes. i am reading atm about the annotations.

if it works here would be nice.. but i dont know if it will be possible cause there are some doubts...

i mean..looking at the example...



how i would get the "X" value in a timeseries chart?
the annotations only "print" a specific point? i dunno if i was clear enough (sorry if not ) but i need all points that are higher than a determinated value... so, that results in more than one annotation in the chart... maybe tons of annotations ( more than one for each serie ).....

Thanks,

Phillip

Edit1 :
The "X" Value..seems i figured out.. time need be in milliseconds....(working here like the example when i add a specific x,y pos, now need check if possible to print more annotations accordinly with the data i have.. and how)...

You're right, annotations don't work well for multiple successive points. But I've just released a new version with an enhanced LineRendererProcessor - it has a couple of attributes that allow you to control the display of noticeable shape at each point, the color of that shape, and whether or not the shape is solid or outlined. This is achieved by passing in an expression that is evaluated for each point. For example, "and (x>=0, y>=0)" would mark all points for which x>=0 and y>=0. The javadocs have more detail about what's possible. Being a string, the expression can also contain EL expressions (like "and (x>=${x}, y>=${y})") so you can use context attributes that get set somewhere in the servlet code. See the annotations.jsp page for an example.

Thanks Ulf Dittmer.

It solved tons of my problems this implementation, now there is just one ( i think, kinda simillar)
I did a jfreechart chart for multiples annotations and the result was kinda good. i was reading the javadoc about those conditionals... is there anyway to "compare" the value(series,x,y) with a dataset(or a List<>) and if equals do the shape/fill etc?

i mean i have the database. i do the query and fill the timeseriescollection with the series.. but jfreechart dont "make" you add a "control point like" to the timeseriesitem. so while i am running my resultset i created a List<paramclass> with the atributes (t,x) (t for position of the timeseries inside of timeseriescollection, and x for position of value inside the timeseries)...
then after i created the annotations on jfreechart and used a for to run the List filling the chart with "a red circle" in each "point" of the List..


i did with multiples annotations that on jfreechart.. but i didnt understand how i would do that on shape/fill for each point on jfreechart.. so this is why i am asking if there is a way to do that on cewolf with this new feature.. or if not, how to do that using jfree?

Thanks in advance.
Phillip

Did you check out the demo of the "condition" feature on the Annotations page? It's just coincidental that it happens to be on that page, it is independent of annotations. And it lets you define a single expression that will be evaluated for each point, making it possible to show or not show a shape at each point.

I thought that's what you described before, but I don't really follow the last post, so maybe you're talking about something else.

You thought right. It was kinda what i was trying to achieve. to paint or not determined points.

i checked the demo( did some tests, kinda apply it to my charts ) but still there is one more type i think.. or i dunno how to make the "right" expression:

the case is : when i build my dataset, i define "certain points" to be or not be paint accordinly with a flag inside the database ..i did it using annotations with a List with which to "paint or not".
so, basically i need to compare or check a list with the coordinates to paint or not...

that is being the biggest problem so far

hi again...

managed to do that in jfree using a customxylinerender class and implementing the methods



anyway thanks, but if you have some idea how to "manage" the fill/visible/paint comparing to a dataset with cewolf i will be very thankfull to you ^^

You could write a postprocessor that sets the renderer you have written for the chart/plot in question. The de.laures.cewolf.cpp.BarRendererProcessor class is an example of doing that.
