I am little bit new in Java.
Right now I am trying to plot a XYPlot using JFreeChart where the domain axis (X-axis) and range axis (Y-axis) contain the same range. But unfortunately the tick-units are different! For this reason, I tried using NumberAxis to set the range and tick-units on domain axis based on the range and tick-units from range axis. But still the difference remains. I still can't find out why this is happening.
I am attaching the code for this plotting. Also I am attaching the screen shots of the problem and what I really want! Please guide me about what I am doing wrong here ...
XYSeriesCollection lineChartDataAD = new XYSeriesCollection();
XYSeries seriesAD = new XYSeries("Real Surface Heights", false, true);
for (int m = 0; m < pt.delayedy.length - 1; m++) {
seriesAD.add((double)pt.delayedy[m], (double)pt.delayedy[m+1]);
}
lineChartDataAD.addSeries(seriesAD);
if (jRadioButton10.isSelected()) { //as it is checkbox2.getState() == true
pt.xaxisAD = pt.yvar+" ("+pt.xvar+") ["+pt.yunit+"]";
pt.yaxisADsupport = String.format("%f", (pt.xspace*pt.delay));
//pt.yaxisAD = pt.yvar +" (i+"+pt.yaxisADsupport+")";
pt.yaxisAD = pt.yvar+" ("+pt.xvar+"+d) ["+pt.yunit+"]";
jLabel44.setText("(Delay (d) = "+pt.yaxisADsupport+" "+pt.xunit+")");
}
else if (jRadioButton11.isSelected()) { //as time series checkbox1.getState() == true
//pt.yaxisAD = pt.yvar +" (i+"+pt.delay+")";
pt.xaxisAD = pt.yvar+" (i) ["+pt.yunit+"]";
pt.yaxisAD = pt.yvar +" (i+d) ["+pt.yunit+"]";
jLabel44.setText("(Delay (d) = "+pt.delay+")");
}
JFreeChart lineChartAD = ChartFactory.createXYLineChart("", pt.xaxisAD, pt.yaxisAD, (XYDataset) lineChartDataAD, PlotOrientation.VERTICAL, false, false, false);
XYPlot plotAD = lineChartAD.getXYPlot();
NumberAxis D = (NumberAxis) plotAD.getDomainAxis();
NumberAxis R = (NumberAxis) plotAD.getRangeAxis();
D.setRange(R.getRange());
D.setTickUnit(R.getTickUnit());
XYLineAndShapeRenderer rendererAD = new XYLineAndShapeRenderer();
rendererAD.setSeriesPaint(0, Color.BLACK);
double sizeAD = 0;
double deltaAD = sizeAD / 2.0;
Shape shapeAD = new Rectangle2D.Double(-deltaAD, -deltaAD, sizeAD, sizeAD);
rendererAD.setSeriesShape(0, shapeAD);
rendererAD.setSeriesStroke(0, new BasicStroke(1.0f));
Font F1AD = new Font ("Times New Roman", Font.PLAIN, 14);
plotAD.getDomainAxis().setLabelFont(F1AD);
plotAD.getRangeAxis().setLabelFont(F1AD);
plotAD.setOutlinePaint(Color.BLACK);
plotAD.setOutlineStroke(new BasicStroke(0.5f));
plotAD.setRenderer(rendererAD);
plotAD.setBackgroundPaint(Color.WHITE);
plotAD.setRangeGridlinesVisible(true);
plotAD.setRangeGridlinePaint(Color.GRAY);
plotAD.setDomainGridlinesVisible(true);
plotAD.setDomainGridlinePaint(Color.GRAY);
ChartPanel linePanelAD = new ChartPanel(lineChartAD, true, true, false, false, true); //Properties, save, print, zoom in pop-up menu, and tooltip
linePanelAD.setMouseZoomable(false);
panelChartRMA4D.removeAll();
panelChartRMA4D.add(linePanelAD, BorderLayout.CENTER);

panelChartRMA4D.setBorder(new LineBorder (Color.BLACK));
panelChartRMA4D.validate();
Screen-shot of the Problem || tick-units are different
Screen-shot of desired result || tick-units are same on both axes
Finally I've a work-around solution to this problem! Whereas I don't know the exact solution to this problem yet.
Instead of trying with the following lines of code,
NumberAxis D = (NumberAxis) plotAD.getDomainAxis();
NumberAxis R = (NumberAxis) plotAD.getRangeAxis();
D.setRange(R.getRange());
D.setTickUnit(R.getTickUnit());
I tried the following lines of code:
//getting the number axes from the plot
NumberAxis D = (NumberAxis) plotAD.getDomainAxis();
NumberAxis R = (NumberAxis) plotAD.getRangeAxis();
//creating custom tick units based on lower and upper bound
Double DT = (D.getUpperBound() - D.getLowerBound())/5;
DecimalFormat DF = new DecimalFormat("#.#");
DF.setRoundingMode(RoundingMode.FLOOR);
String DTS = DF.format(DT);
DT = Double.parseDouble(DTS);
D.setTickUnit(new NumberTickUnit(DT));
Double RT = (R.getUpperBound() - R.getLowerBound())/5;
String RTS = DF.format(RT);
RT = Double.parseDouble(RTS);
R.setTickUnit(new NumberTickUnit(RT));
And it works !!! See the attached screen-shot below which is what I wanted, same tick-units on both axes ...
The full code for this sort of plotting is also given below (may be it increases some lines of code but I am happy that it works for any cases until I get the exact solution to this problem):
//Creating XYseries based on an array (i.e., pt.delayedy)
XYSeriesCollection lineChartDataAD = new XYSeriesCollection();
XYSeries seriesAD = new XYSeries("Real Surface Heights", false, true);
for (int m = 0; m < pt.delayedy.length - 1; m++) {
seriesAD.add((double)pt.delayedy[m], (double)pt.delayedy[m+1]);
}
lineChartDataAD.addSeries(seriesAD);
//Customizing my axis labels (required for my purpose)
if (jRadioButton10.isSelected()) {
pt.xaxisAD = pt.yvar+" ("+pt.xvar+") ["+pt.yunit+"]";
pt.yaxisADsupport = String.format("%f", (pt.xspace*pt.delay));
pt.yaxisAD = pt.yvar+" ("+pt.xvar+"+d) ["+pt.yunit+"]";
}
else if (jRadioButton11.isSelected()) {
pt.xaxisAD = pt.yvar+" (i) ["+pt.yunit+"]";
pt.yaxisAD = pt.yvar +" (i+d) ["+pt.yunit+"]";
jLabel44.setText("(Delay (d) = "+pt.delay+")");
}

plotAD.getDomainAxis().setLabelFont(F1AD);
plotAD.getRangeAxis().setLabelFont(F1AD);
//The below lines are for exact same x-scaling and y-scaling in plot
NumberAxis D = (NumberAxis) plotAD.getDomainAxis();
