How to change the axis value font on a JFreeChart - java

Just as the title says, if I have a JFreeChart (or want to create one) how do I specify the font that is used for the values on the axis? Not the axis label, but the actual values. Specifically I just want to make the font a little bigger.

For Range Axis
CategoryPlot p = chart.getCategoryPlot();
ValueAxis axis = p.getRangeAxis();
For Domian Axis
CategoryPlot p = chart.getCategoryPlot();
CategoryAxis axis = p.getDomainAxis();
then set the font like
Font font = new Font("Dialog", Font.PLAIN, 30);
axis.setTickLabelFont(font)

Try setTickLabelFont(java.awt.Font font) on the relevant 'Axis'.

Change format legend Jfreechart

I'd like to know if it's possible to put the legend that appears on the chart on the x axis in vertical position. First time I am using JFreeChart and I don't know whether it's possible or not.
This is my actual code
dataset.setValue(VecDias.get(i).GetNpers(),VecDias.get(i).GetHour(),dia_semana);
JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createBarChart3D("Estadistica persones/hora", "Hores","Persones",
dataset, PlotOrientation.VERTICAL, true,true, false);
chart.setBackgroundPaint(Color.white);
chart.getTitle().setPaint(Color.black);
CategoryPlot p = chart.getCategoryPlot();
p.setRangeGridlinePaint(Color.red);
LegendTitle legend = chart.getLegend();
legend.setPosition(RectangleEdge.RIGHT);
ChartPanel chartPanel = new ChartPanel(chart);
panel.add(chartPanel);
You can draw the Category Labels and change their orientation through the JFreeChart object. First get the Axis from the Plot, then change the label orientation
CategoryPlot p = chart.getCategoryPlot();
CategoryAxis axis = p.getDomainAxis();
axis.setCategoryLabelPositions(CategoryLabelPositions.UP_90);
Note this changes the orientation of the Category labels, so you may have to change how the Dataset object is created such that the names of the Categories are correctly reflected.

JFreeChart Pie graph labels squishing

As you can see from the picture, the labels for the arrows pointing to the sections of the pie graph are overlapping on the left side. Is there a way to shrink the font of the labels so more can fit? Or make them go out so they dont overlap?strong text
you can rotate chart by some angle by using following code
JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createPieChart3D("World Polulation by Countries ", dataset, true, true, true);
PiePlot plot = (PiePlot) chart.getPlot();
plot.setPieIndex(0);
// plot.setLabelFont(new Font("SansSerif", Font.NORMAL, 12));
plot.setNoDataMessage("No data available");
plot.setCircular(false);
plot.setLabelLinksVisible(true);
// plot.zoom(200);
// plot.setStartAngle(180);
// plot.setLabelBackgroundPaint(paint);
plot.setLabelLinkMargin(0.01);
return chart;

JFreeChart : Zoom-in for domain axis is not working when CategoryAxis is used

I am using jfreechart library to draw a series chart. I have taken values on y-axis, time on x-axis and 3 categories as series. Everything is fine but I'm not able to zoom-in domain axis although it's working fine for range axis. Is this possible?
Following lines of code may help you to find some scenario of my code:
final ChartPanel chartPanel = new ChartPanel(chart);
chartPanel.setDomainZoomable(true);
chartPanel.setRangeZoomable(true);
this.add(chartPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
and
//set plot specifications
final CategoryPlot plot = (CategoryPlot) chart.getPlot();
plot.setBackgroundPaint(new Color(0xffffe0));
plot.setDomainGridlinesVisible(true);
plot.setDomainGridlinePaint(Color.lightGray);
plot.setRangeGridlinePaint(Color.lightGray);
//CUSTOMIZE DOMAIN AXIS
final CategoryAxis domainAxis = (CategoryAxis) plot.getDomainAxis();
//customize domain label position
domainAxis.setCategoryLabelPositions(
CategoryLabelPositions.createUpRotationLabelPositions(Math.PI / 6.0)
);
It looks like you are using a CategoryPlot which does not support zooing on the domain range
To allow zooming on the Domain axis switch over to a XYPlot if you are using the chart factory the code is
JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createXYLineChart(...);
If you are able to cast the plot to an CategoryPlot something has gone wrong. I've checked LineChartDemo3 and this code causes an error (java.lang.ClassCastException):
try {
final CategoryPlot cplot = (CategoryPlot) chart.getPlot();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

How to hide JFreeChart XYSeries yaxis?

Is there a way to hide a JFreeChart XYSeries yaxis?
The yaxis is meaningless on logic analyzer display.
You can use setVisible(), as shown below.
XYPlot plot = (XYPlot) chart.getPlot();
ValueAxis range = plot.getRangeAxis();
range.setVisible(false);
hide horizontal and vertical labels
ValueAxis range = xyPlot.getRangeAxis();
range.setVisible(false);
ValueAxis domain = xyPlot.getDomainAxis();
domain.setVisible(false);

JFreeChart PolarPlot remove radius labels?

Any ideas? There is no setRadiusLabelsVisible(...) or setLabelGenerator(null) method which exists for at least some of the other charts. :)
It looks like a PolarPlot has a radial Axis, so
PolarPlot plot = (PolarPlot) chart.getPlot();
ValueAxis axis = plot.getAxis();
axis.setTickLabelsVisible(false);
