如何在 NetBeans 生成的 Jpanel 中显示 JfreeChart ( ChartPanel )

Question

i've generated a gui using netbeans gui generator. I have two panel and in one of this i want to show a chartpanel. The code generated by netbeans is:

private void initComponents() {

        jPanel1 = new javax.swing.JPanel();

        org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout jPanel1Layout = new org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout(jPanel1);
        jPanel1.setLayout(jPanel1Layout);
        jPanel1Layout.setHorizontalGroup(
            jPanel1Layout.createParallelGroup(org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout.LEADING)
            .add(0, 394, Short.MAX_VALUE)
        );
        jPanel1Layout.setVerticalGroup(
            jPanel1Layout.createParallelGroup(org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout.LEADING)
            .add(0, 294, Short.MAX_VALUE)
        );

        org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout layout = new org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout(this);
        this.setLayout(layout);
        layout.setHorizontalGroup(
            layout.createParallelGroup(org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout.LEADING)
            .add(0, 400, Short.MAX_VALUE)
            .add(layout.createParallelGroup(org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout.LEADING)
                .add(org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout.TRAILING, layout.createSequentialGroup()
                    .add(jPanel1, org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, Short.MAX_VALUE)
                    .addContainerGap()))
        );
        layout.setVerticalGroup(
            layout.createParallelGroup(org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout.LEADING)
            .add(0, 300, Short.MAX_VALUE)
            .add(layout.createParallelGroup(org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout.LEADING)
                .add(layout.createSequentialGroup()
                    .add(jPanel1, org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, Short.MAX_VALUE)
                    .addContainerGap()))
        );
    }

What i've done to add the chartpanel to jpanel is :

TimeSeriesCollection dataset = new TimeSeriesCollection();
            for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
                TimeSeries pop = new TimeSeries("try "+i, Day.class);
                pop.add(new Day(10+i, 1+i, 2004+i), 100*(i+2));
                pop.add(new Day(10+1*i, 1+2+i, 2004+i+1), 150*(i+2));
                pop.add(new Day(10+2*i, 1+2*i, 2004+i+2), 150*(i+3));
                pop.add(new Day(10+3*i, 1+2*i, 2004+i+3), 150*(i+4));
                pop.add(new Day(10+4*i, 1+2*i, 2004+i+10), 150*(i+5));
                dataset.addSeries(pop);
            }
            TimeSeries pop = new TimeSeries("Try asjhaihsiuahsiuahiushaiushiauhsiuhasiua"+100, Day.class);
            int i=5;
                pop.add(new Day(1, 1+i, 2004+i), 100*(i+2));
                pop.add(new Day(2, 1+2+i, 2004+i+1), 150*(i+2));
                pop.add(new Day(3, 1+2*i, 2004+i+2), 150*(i+3));
                pop.add(new Day(4, 1+2*i, 2004+i+3), 150*(i+4));
                pop.add(new Day(5, 1+2*i, 2004+i+10), 1500*(i+5));
                dataset.addSeries(pop);
            JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createTimeSeriesChart(
                    "Population of CSC408 Town",
                    "Date",
                    "Population",
                    dataset,
                    true,
                    true,
                    false);
            ChartPanel p = new ChartPanel(chart);

            jPanel1.add(p);

But chartpanel won't show inside jpanel.. what can i do? can you help me?

Answer 1

set Layout in your NetBeans panel to BorderLayout (by right click on it from design preview then set layout, or do it from code Panel.setLayout ) , after that when you want to show your chart panel, just add the chart panel into parent panel and ask for repaint.

netbeansPanel.add(charPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
netbeansPanel.validate();

also you can remove the panel in case if you want to update the chart with new one:

netbeansPanel.removeAll();
netbeansPanel.add(charPanel);
netbeansPanel.validate();
