I have created a thermometer chart with JFreeChart, but I want to change the mercury color in thermometer. How can I do this? Here is my code so far; please explain where to change this code:
final DefaultValueDataset dataset = new DefaultValueDataset(new Double(10));
// create the chart...
final ThermometerPlot plot = new ThermometerPlot(dataset);
final JFreeChart chart = new JFreeChart("Thermometer Demo 2", // chart title
JFreeChart.DEFAULT_TITLE_FONT,
plot, // plot
false); // include legend
chart.setBackgroundPaint(new Color(241,250,224));
plot.setMercuryPaint();
final NumberAxis rangeAxis = (NumberAxis) plot.getRangeAxis();
rangeAxis.setUpperBound(50);
You may be looking for setSubrangePaint()
, demonstrated below.

this.setLayout(new GridLayout());
DefaultValueDataset dataset = new DefaultValueDataset(value);
ThermometerPlot plot = new ThermometerPlot(dataset);
plot.setSubrangePaint(0, Color.green.darker());
plot.setSubrangePaint(1, Color.orange);
plot.setSubrangePaint(2, Color.red.darker());
JFreeChart chart = new JFreeChart("Demo",
JFreeChart.DEFAULT_TITLE_FONT, plot, true);
this.add(new ChartPanel(chart, W, H, W, H, W, H,
false, true, true, true, true, true));
}
public static void main(final String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
JFrame f = new JFrame("Demo");
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 0));
f.add(new ThermometerDemo(40));
f.add(new ThermometerDemo(60));
f.add(new ThermometerDemo(80));
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
}
