How to resize this chart in jfreechart, netbeans?

Question

I can\'t seem to manipulate the chart itself. I can\'t change the size and chartPanel = createChartPanel(); keeps rewriting into chartPanel = javax.swing.pan

Answer 1

Have you added your panel chartPanel to a JFrame?

If not, try this:

JFrame jf = new JFrame("Chart");
jf.add(chartPanel);
jf.pack();
jf.setSize(frame_width,frame_height);
jf.setVisible(true);

As you can see from code, you can edit the size of the frame in which the chartPanel is contained, with jf.setSize(frame_width,frame_height);.

You can just take a look to these API:

JFrame API : http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JFrame.html

JPanel API : http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JPanel.html

Answer 2

You don't have to worry about your chart size, set your Panel's layout to GridBagLayout that should help.
