Question

I would like to create pole/zero plot similar to pole/zero plot. It is for displaying IIR and FIR filters properties like stability, type…

My question is: How can I set same scale (not range) for both axes?
I use ScatterPlot for chart.

JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createScatterPlot("Pole/zero plot", // chart
                                                                        // title
            "real", // x axis label
            "imaginary", // y axis label
            result, // data
            PlotOrientation.VERTICAL, true, // include legend
            true, // tooltips
            false // urls
            );

XYPlot plot = (XYPlot) chart.getPlot();
plot.setDomainGridlinesVisible(true);
plot.setRangeGridlinesVisible(true);
plot.setRangeGridlinePaint(Color.black);
plot.setDomainGridlinePaint(Color.black);

XYLineAndShapeRenderer renderer = (XYLineAndShapeRenderer) plot.getRenderer();

renderer.setBaseItemLabelsVisible(true);
renderer.setBaseItemLabelsVisible(true, true);


plot.setDomainCrosshairVisible(true);
plot.setDomainCrosshairLockedOnData(true);
plot.setRangeCrosshairVisible(true);
plot.setRangeCrosshairLockedOnData(true);

float dash1[] = { 10.0f };
XYShapeAnnotation unitCircle = new XYShapeAnnotation(
    new Ellipse2D.Double(-1, -1, 2, 2), new BasicStroke(1.0f,
    BasicStroke.CAP_BUTT, BasicStroke.JOIN_MITER, 10.0f,
    dash1, 0.0f), Color.black);
    plot.addAnnotation(unitCircle);
    plot.setBackgroundPaint(Color.white);

chart.setAntiAlias(true);


chartPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
ChartPanel cp = new ChartPanel(chart);
cp.setMouseWheelEnabled(true);
cp.setToolTipText("test");
cp.setDisplayToolTips(true);
chartPanel.add(cp);

Answer 1

Sans legend, setting the preferred size of the ChartPanel works pretty well:

private static final int SIZE = 456;
chartPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(SIZE, SIZE));
