Error in Tooltip for javaFX Linechart - javafx

I am using JavaFX LineChart. I am trying to set the tooltip on the linechart. I am getting error runtime error in event handle. What is wrong in the code?
public class ChartPlot
{
static LineChart <Number,Number> linechart;
static double[] xArray, yArray;
static ArrayList <Double> xList, yList;
public static XYChart.Series series;
public static LineChart linePlot(double[] x, double[] y) {
xArray = new double[x.length];
yArray = new double[y.length];
xArray = x;
yArray = y;
//Defining the x axis
final NumberAxis xAxis = new NumberAxis();
xAxis.setLabel("Wavelength");
//Defining the y axis
final NumberAxis yAxis = new NumberAxis();
yAxis.setLabel("Intensity");
//Creating the line chart
linechart = new LineChart <>(xAxis, yAxis);
linechart.getData().clear();
//Prepare XYChart.Series objects by setting data
series = new XYChart.Series();
//Setting the data to Line chart
for (int i = 0; i < xArray.length; i++) {
series.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(xArray[i], yArray[i]));
}
linechart.setCreateSymbols(false);
linechart.getData().add(series);
xAxis.setAutoRanging(true);
xAxis.setForceZeroInRange(false);
yAxis.setAutoRanging(true);
yAxis.setForceZeroInRange(false);
linechart.autosize();
linechart.applyCss();
String css = FXMLDocumentController.class.getResource("LSG.css").toExternalForm();
linechart.getStylesheets().add(css);
linechart.setLegendVisible(false);
for (XYChart.Series <Number, Number> s: linechart.getData()) {
for (XYChart.Data <Number, Number> d: s.getData()) {
Tooltip.install(d.getNode(), new Tooltip(
d.getXValue().toString() + "," + d.getYValue()));
//Adding Class on Hover or on click
d.getNode().addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICKED, new EventHandler < MouseEvent > () //----- This is the line I am getting error
{#Override
public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
System.out.println("X :" + d.getXValue() + " Y :" + d.getYValue());
}
});
}
}
return linechart;
}
}
I am using Open button to read a file and plot. While plotting I am trying to insert listener also to show the value on which I click.

JavaFX multi linechart and series - curves missing

I would like to plot one serie per chart, and in the end all the series together in one chart, but did not succeed. I'm asking for help. The code is simple and straight forward. Here is my code:
The main class;
public class TestChart extends Application {
GenPlots genPlots =new GenPlots();
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Button btn = new Button();
btn.setText("Say 'Hello World'");
btn.setOnAction(event -> {
genPlots.GenPlots("Hello");
});
StackPane root = new StackPane();
root.getChildren().add(btn);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 200, 250);
primaryStage.setTitle("TestCharts");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
And the class aimed to generate the series and the charts:
public class GenPlots {
public GenPlots() {};
Axis xAxis = new NumberAxis();
Axis yAxis = new NumberAxis();
LineChart<Number, Number> lineChart = new LineChart<Number, Number>
(xAxis, yAxis);
LineChart<Number, Number> lineChartMulti = new LineChart<Number,
Number>(xAxis, yAxis);
String serName="*";
// generate the linecharts
public void GenPlots (String hello) {
lineChart.getData().clear();
lineChartMulti.getData().clear();
for (int j=1; j<4;j++) {
XYChart.Series serSIF = new XYChart.Series();
serSIF=getSeries();
serName=String.valueOf(j);
serSIF.setName("Only one "+serName);
lineChart.getData().add(serSIF);
displayChart(lineChart,serName);
lineChartMulti.getData().add(serSIF);
}
displayChart(lineChartMulti,serName+"All Series");
} // end method
// get the series with values - sample
public XYChart.Series getSeries()
{
double x=0.0;
double fx=0.0;
XYChart.Series serL = new XYChart.Series();
for (int k=1; k<5;k++)
{
x=x+2;
fx=x*x*j;
serL.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(x,fx));
}
return serL;
}
// plot the lineCharts
public void displayChart( LineChart<Number, Number>lineChart, String
chartTitle )
{
Stage window = new Stage();
window.initModality(Modality.NONE);
StackPane vb = new StackPane();
vb.setPadding(new Insets(20, 20, 20, 20));
lineChart.setTitle(chartTitle);
vb.getChildren().add(lineChart);
Scene scene = new Scene(vb,500,600);
window.setScene(scene);
window.show();
}
}
Also, the last plots with all series are showing correctly, but the other ones , - one serie per chart - are distorted , or not plotted at all. It seems that the series are resetted to null each time a linechart is generated. I thinks is due to the that series are observable, but I can not figure out how to resolve this problem. Ask kindly for your contribution
I found the solution, which could be usefull for other people:
save the series in a ObservableList-
ObservableList<XYChart.Series<Number,Number>> ser = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
If needed do not clear the series itself, rather the ObservableList.

Adding XYChart.Series<Integer,Integer> into linechart for javafx

public static XYChart.Series<Integer,Integer> makeSeries(ArrayList<Integer> date, ArrayList<Integer> cases) {
XYChart.Series<Integer,Integer> series = new XYChart.Series<>();
for(int i = 0; i < date.size();i++) {
series.getData().add(new XYChart.Data<Integer,Integer>(date.get(i), cases.get(i)));
}
return series;
}
public static LineChart<Number, Number> makeChart(ArrayList<XYChart.Series<Integer,Integer>> series) {
NumberAxis xAxis = new NumberAxis();
NumberAxis yAxis = new NumberAxis();
LineChart<Number, Number> linechart = new LineChart<Number, Number>(xAxis, yAxis);
for(int i = 0; i < series.size();i++) {
Series<Integer, Integer> num = series.get(i);
linechart.getData().add(series.get(i));
}
return linechart;
}
So I have difficulty adding the data in the series to the line chart, it wouldn't let me use the add method.
The error message I got was:
The method add(XYChart.Series<Number,Number>) in the type List<XYChart.Series<Number,Number>> is not applicable for the arguments (XYChart.Series<Integer,Integer>)
I've also tried to type cast the series.get(i) into Number but it also doesn't seem to work...
Any help would be highly appreciated! Thank you!

Javafx - set hover for barchart

i need to set hover over the bar in barchart.
I have code which show barchart and I need to show values from y-axis when crossing over bar on graphic.
XYChart.Series set1 = new XYChart.Series<>();
XYChart.Series series1 = new XYChart.Series();
for(int i = 0; i< suply.size(); i++)
{
set1.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(suply.get(i).getName(), Float.parseFloat(suply.get(i).getNum())));
final XYChart.Data<String, Number> data = new XYChart.Data(suply.get(i).getName(), Float.parseFloat(suply.get(i).getNum()));
data.nodeProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Node>() {
#Override public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Node> ov, Node oldNode, Node newNode) {
if (newNode != null) {
}
}
});
series1.getData().add(data);
}
barChart.getData().add(series1);
//now you can get the nodes.
for (Series<String, Number> serie: barChart.getData()){
for (XYChart.Data<String, Number> item: serie.getData()){
item.getNode().setOnMousePressed((MouseEvent event) -> {
System.out.println("you clicked "+item.toString()+serie.toString());
});
}
}
barChart.setCursor(Cursor.CROSSHAIR);
Where to put code for hover on barchart and how?
I found solutions
for (final Series<String, Number> series : barChart.getData()) {
for (final XYChart.Data<String, Number> data : series.getData()) {
Tooltip tooltip = new Tooltip();
tooltip.setText(data.getXValue().toString() +" "+
data.getYValue().toString());
Tooltip.install(data.getNode(), tooltip);
}
}

How to draw multiple axis using JavaFX charts API?
Following is an image of a trend in a huge software where some real time as well as history data is being plotted. There are two pens registered and separate axis for each pen is defined on the same trend.
I have been trying to do exactly this in JavaFX 2.0 charts. I have been able to plot a real time chart which is as follows:
I have been researching about multiple axis using JavaFX and could find the this link but I think this is an older version of JavaFX using FXML. However, I am using JavaFX regular classes to accomplish this.
HELP!!!
Here you can find my solution - MultipleAxesLineChart. It is not generic and just fits my needs, but I think it can give a good sight of how it can be done by using StackPane.
Place two charts in a StackPane.
Use css lookups on the top chart to translate (using translate-x and translate-y) it's axes and labels so that they can be read independently of the bottom chart. Leave the top chart's data plot so that it overlays the bottom chart. Modify colors and legends (or mix chart styles, e.g. line and bar) so that it is obvious which data plot belongs to which series.
Some of the techniques above are demonstrated:
In the answer to: Move tick label JavaFx 2 (which shows how to draw multiple axes on what seems to be a single chart).
In this sample code which layers a linechart on a barchart (but without the axis translation).

Adding horizontal lines in javafx barchart [duplicate]

My desktop application has a timer for starting and stopping a test. On the graph, I want to create two vertical lines to indicate the start and stop time. "Adding vertical lines to StackPane with JavaFX" won't work for my case because I don't want the lines to stay at the same position and those lines should be drawn within the plot not the layout. When the user zooms on the chart, those vertical lines should move corresponding to where the user zooms. Thanks for any tip.
Here are my codes for creating the chart:
LineChart<Number, Number> chart = new LineChart<Number, Number>(xAxis, yAxis, dataset);
xAxis.setLabel("time(s)");
yAxis.setLabel("deg/s");
You need to extend the LineChart class and override the layoutPlotChildren method in order to show your markers.
Kleopatra did a very good example for a Scatter chart. The code below is a modified version for a line chart and has both vertical and horizontal markers:
public class LineChartSample extends Application {

xAxis.setLabel("Number of Month");
final LineChartWithMarkers<Number,Number> lineChart = new LineChartWithMarkers<Number,Number>(xAxis,yAxis);

series.setName("My portfolio");
series.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(1, 23));

series.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(4, 24));

In order to add more marker lines, just use this:
Data<Number, Number> verticalMarker = new Data<>(10, 0);
lineChart.addVerticalValueMarker(verticalMarker);
Of course you could as well use a rectangle instead of a line like this:
private ObservableList<Data<X, X>> verticalRangeMarkers;
public LineChartWithMarkers(Axis<X> xAxis, Axis<Y> yAxis) {
...
verticalRangeMarkers = FXCollections.observableArrayList(data -> new Observable[] {data.XValueProperty()});
verticalRangeMarkers = FXCollections.observableArrayList(data -> new Observable[] {data.YValueProperty()}); // 2nd type of the range is X type as well
verticalRangeMarkers.addListener((InvalidationListener)observable -> layoutPlotChildren());
}
public void addVerticalRangeMarker(Data<X, X> marker) {
Objects.requireNonNull(marker, "the marker must not be null");
if (verticalRangeMarkers.contains(marker)) return;
Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle(0,0,0,0);
rectangle.setStroke(Color.TRANSPARENT);
rectangle.setFill(Color.BLUE.deriveColor(1, 1, 1, 0.2));
marker.setNode( rectangle);
getPlotChildren().add(rectangle);
verticalRangeMarkers.add(marker);
}
public void removeVerticalRangeMarker(Data<X, X> marker) {
Objects.requireNonNull(marker, "the marker must not be null");
if (marker.getNode() != null) {
getPlotChildren().remove(marker.getNode());
marker.setNode(null);
}
verticalRangeMarkers.remove(marker);
}
protected void layoutPlotChildren() {
...
for (Data<X, X> verticalRangeMarker : verticalRangeMarkers) {
Rectangle rectangle = (Rectangle) verticalRangeMarker.getNode();
rectangle.setX( getXAxis().getDisplayPosition(verticalRangeMarker.getXValue()) + 0.5); // 0.5 for crispness
rectangle.setWidth( getXAxis().getDisplayPosition(verticalRangeMarker.getYValue()) - getXAxis().getDisplayPosition(verticalRangeMarker.getXValue()));
rectangle.setY(0d);
rectangle.setHeight(getBoundsInLocal().getHeight());
rectangle.toBack();
}
}
used like this:
Data<Number, Number> verticalRangeMarker = new Data<>(4, 10);
lineChart.addVerticalRangeMarker(verticalRangeMarker);
To make it look like a range:
I'm not sure which question you are referring to. You can basically do all this with some binding magic: the trick is to map the x value of the line to coordinates relative to the xAxis using xAxis.getDisplayPosition(...). Then you need to transform that coordinate to the coordinate relative to the container holding the chart and the line: the easiest way to do this is to first transform to Scene coordinates using xAxis.localToScene(...) and then to the coordinates of the container, using container.sceneToLocal(...).
Then you just need to let the binding observe everything that it needs to watch for changes: these will be the (numerical) bounds of the axes, the (graphical) bounds of the chart, and, if the line is going to move, a property representing its x-value.
Here is an SSCCE. In this example, I use a Slider to move the line around. I also make the line visible only if it's in range, and bind the y-coordinates so it spans the yAxis.
