How to adjust Image position in XYImageAnnotation

I have a icon in JFreeChart:

BufferedImage torreIcon = null;

try {
    torreIcon = ImageIO.read(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(
        "Resources/Imagenes/torre_control_2.png"));
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

And I have added this icon to the XYPlot:

XYAnnotation xyannotation = new XYImageAnnotation(0, 1900, torreIcon);
this.xyplot.addAnnotation(xyannotation);

And the result in the chart is:

enter image description here

The problem is when I make zoom in:

enter image description here

I would like that the icon always be next to the x axis, without space, and with the same size of course. Is it possible?

Solution

  • If I put (0, 0) coordinates, the icon center is put in 0, 0 and the image is not above x axis.

    Correct; unless otherwise specified, an XYImageAnnotation is centered at the specified data space coordinates using RectangleAnchor.CENTER.

    I put manually the coordinates that makes the icon put above the x axis initially, and as we can see the y coordinate that make this is 1900.

    Instead, specify the desired RectangleAnchor when you construct the XYImageAnnotation:

    new XYImageAnnotation(0, 0, image, RectangleAnchor.BOTTOM)

    The example below adds a blue frame to a convenient image in order to see how the image is drawn relative to the anchor. RectangleAnchor.BOTTOM at the origin is illustrated below. The image stays anchored to the origin as you pan and zoom. Try the other RectangleAnchor instances to see the effect.
