Is it possible to perform an action event over a line?

Question

I have a 2D line plot done with XY line chart using the JFreeChart library. Now, I would like to delete a series when the user clicks over that series line. Is it possible to do that? How should I do it?

Answer 1

In outline,

• Add a ChartMouseListener to determine the ChartEntity that represents the selected series, as shown here; you can get the series index from the XYItemEntity.

• Use one of the removeSeries() methods of XYSeriesCollection to remove the chosen series.
