Add values to a specified series in a DynamicTimeSeriesCollection
The program will receive data every second and draw them on time Series chart. However, once I create two series, I cannot add new value to it. It displays a straight line only.
How do I append data to a specified series? I.e. YYY
. Based on this example, here's what I'm doing:
...
// Data set.
final DynamicTimeSeriesCollection dataset =
new DynamicTimeSeriesCollection( 2, COUNT, new Second() );
dataset.setTimeBase( new Second( 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2011 ) );
dataset.addSeries( gaussianData(), 0, "XXX" );
dataset.addSeries( gaussianData(), 1, "YYY" );
// Chart.
JFreeChart chart = createChart( dataset );
this.add( new ChartPanel( chart ), BorderLayout.CENTER );
// Timer.
timer = new Timer( 1000, new ActionListener() {
@Override
public void actionPerformed ( ActionEvent e ) {
dataset.advanceTime();
dataset.appendData( new float[] { randomValue() } );
}
} );
...
private JFreeChart createChart ( final XYDataset dataset ) {
final JFreeChart result = ChartFactory.createTimeSeriesChart(
TITLE, "", "", dataset, true, true, false );
final XYPlot plot = result.getXYPlot();
ValueAxis domain = plot.getDomainAxis();
domain.setAutoRange( true );
ValueAxis range = plot.getRangeAxis();
range.setRange( -MINMAX, MINMAX );
return result;
}
Assuming you started from here, you've specified a dataset with two series, but you're only appending one value with each tick of the Timer
. You need two values for each tick. Here's how I modified the original to get the picture below:
final DynamicTimeSeriesCollection dataset =
new DynamicTimeSeriesCollection(2, COUNT, new Second());
...
dataset.addSeries(gaussianData(), 0, "Human");
dataset.addSeries(gaussianData(), 1, "Alien");
...
timer = new Timer(FAST, new ActionListener() {
// two values appended with each tick
float[] newData = new float[2];
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
newData[0] = randomValue();
newData[1] = randomValue();
dataset.advanceTime();
dataset.appendData(newData);
}
});
