Is there a simple way to remove a TimeSeries from a displayed JFreeChart Chart?

Question

I have a Swing application which uses JFreeChart to display one of a series of queries. Some of these queries have a composite TimeSeries key. Each component of this key can contain a few values, but when rendered makes a very noisy graph. I would like a simple way for the users to hide/show some of the TimeSeries in the displayed Chart component.

Answer 1

It looks like the setSeriesVisible method of AbstractRenderer is what you're looking for. Although this forum discussion suggests that it may only work in the latest release but there's a work around for earlier releases.

Answer 2

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but if you want to keep item shapes apart, have a look at the AnalysisXYItemRenderer class (or corresponding). There's a transXDiff there that can be used for such calculations (such as accumulating the diff and only show plot shapes when that accumulated value reaches a limit).

It was a couple of years ago I did this, so things might have changed in JFreeChart since then.
