How to draw a spiderchart above a existing JfreeChart

I have one a jfree chart which I can generate everytime I run the code.
Now i want to override few more spider graphs on the same chart. please help me how to do that
Above this i need to add one more spider chart using jfree.
Here is my code for doing this chart.

Thank u in advance for helping and taking efforts to see this.

I want to override few more spider graphs on the same chart.
It may help to examine how a spider web plot is used to display multivariate data. The simplified example below compares just two OBSERVATIONS, each having five VARIABLES named A .. E, with random values in the range 1 .. 3. By chance, the values for variable B coincide; the rest differ. You can adjust the value of OBSERVATIONS to see the effect, but the result becomes progressively more muddled as the number of observations grows. You may want to alter series visibility, as suggested here, or consider these alternatives.

Multiple graphs in multiple figures using jFreeChart

I am trying to use jFreechart to generate two figures each of which with 12 graphs (being referred as series in jFreeChart ). However some of the graphs get simply skipped! I know I have synchronization issue here and tried to used the method the user #trashgod provided me here however I failed. I know the way I use swingworker is wrong! I dont know how to fix it
Each figure should contain 10 graphs which are parallel horizontal straight lines. As you see in the attached image some of the lines are missing. The two figures have to be identical too ( which are not). In practice I will have to generate multiple graphs in several locations of my applications at various times(random time interval between each figure and even graphs of individual figures)
Any help will be very much appreciated

I know the way I use swingworker is wrong! I dont know how to fix it
Before start I have some tips:
Get rid of the arrays: you have several of them and you'll see they
only mess the things up because you'll need indexes and loops
everywhere to work with them and it's too easy make a mistake. I'd
especially remove this one:
private XYSeries [] xySeries; //XYSeriesCollection is intended to keep a series list, so...
Don't make your class extend from JFrame (or any Swing component) if you don't will add any functionality. You just can use a variable instead.
Besides the SwingWorker implementation needs to be fixed, it's more disturbing having a new Thread that calls this SwingWorker. Get rid of it too (it's no needed).
As #trahsgod pointed out in this comment, XYSeriesCollection is the chart's model so the key is working with it.
Having said this, about your SwingWorker implementation, it should look like this:
SwingWorker<Void, XYSeries> worker = new SwingWorker<Void, XYSeries>() {
#Override
protected Void doInBackground() throws Exception {
/*
* This part is extracted from your multiPlot() method
* I've just reduced the scale factor and get rid of double arrays
*/
int numberOfElements = 100; // this is the number of elementes in X axis
for(int y = 0; y < 12; y++) { // we want 12 series
XYSeries series = new XYSeries("Plot " + y);
for (int x = 0; x < numberOfElements; x++) {
series.add(x, y*10); //add x,y point
}
publish(series);
Thread.sleep(100);// just for animation purpose
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void process(List<XYSeries> chunks) {
for(XYSeries series : chunks){
/*
* Add the series to the "model" here.
* It will notify the "view" data has been changed and this last one will be updated
* It's important make this call here to ensure the "view" is updated in the EDT.
*/
xySeriesCollection.addSeries(series);
}
}
};

You're doing the same thing -- calling Swing from a background thread.
Here you create a new thread in multiPlot, and then call the Swing Timer from that thread -- don't do that -- a Swing Timer should only be started on the Swing event dispatch thread (or EDT). Have you tried using a SwingWorker instead? If so, what has been your result?
And you appear to be using a Swing Timer with a delay of 0 and then stopping it immediately. If so, that's a bit odd, and suggests that you shouldn't be using a timer at all.

Random errors when changing series using JFreeChart

I'm making a GUI that display result of background calculations. But before that, I wanted to test changing the dataset. Here is my code:
DefaultXYDataset dataset = new DefaultXYDataset();
#Override
public void run() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
for (int i = 0; i < periods; i++) {
series[0][i] = (double) i;
series[1][i] = 0;
}
dataset.addSeries("Series0", series);
for (int it = 0; it < 10; it++) {
series[1][random.nextInt(periods)] = random.nextInt(100) / 2;
double[][] d = new double[2][periods];
for (int i = 0; i < periods; i++) {
d[0][i] = series[0][i];
d[1][i] = series[1][i];
}
dataset.removeSeries("Series0");
dataset.addSeries("Series0", series);
// try {
// Thread.sleep(100);
// } catch (java.lang.InterruptedException ex) {
// }
}
As you can see, I want to change points on the graph (every time it finishes 'some complicated computations') - this change is in the thread invoked by me in another class. My problem is that this whole concept is not working. It throws 'Series index out of bounds'-IllegalArgumentException, 'index out of bounds' - of some library inner arraylist etc.. I'm not using DynamicTimeSeriesCollection because I need the X axis to be the number of my inner iterations not the time period, and also update when 'some computations' are finished not every some time period. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or is there a better way to update/refresh the graph?

Your snippet is incorrectly synchronized; you should update your dataset from the process() method of a SwingWorker, as shown here. Because your domain is "the number of my inner iterations", don't use a DateAxis; instead, use a NumberAxis, as shown in ChartFactory.createXYLineChart().
Addendum: This variation on the example plots the worker's progress on a line chart. Note that createXYLineChart() uses NumberAxis for both domain and range. Given a series in the line chart's dataset, note also how the implementation of process() can safely update the dataset as new data arrives; the listening chart will update itself in response.

I am calling this code inside one of my panel constructors like this:
public class ChartPanel extends JPanel{
private Dimension dim;
private PrepareChart chart;
public JPanel jChart;
public ChartPanel(){
dim = super.getToolkit().getScreenSize();
this.setBounds(2,2,dim.width/4,dim.height/4);
chart = new PrepareChart();
jChart =chart.getChartPanel();
this.add(jChart);
}
But when I add this panel to the frame, the graph is not changing dynamically.

OK, I think I have spotted your problem, but I can't be completely sure without seeing how you use all this code.
Your main issue lies here:
public JPanel getChartPanel(){
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
PrepareChart chart = new PrepareChart();
System.out.println("In caht getter methoed");
chart.start();
}
});
return new ChartPanel(chart);
}
In your Runnable, you recreate a new instance of PrepareChart and you start it. This does not make any sense:
Your enclosing PrepareChart instance is never started (hence you don't see it updated dynamically)
The instance you create in your runnable cannot be reached by anyone/anything so that instance if lost forever in the AWT event-queue.
So instead, I would only be using the following:
public JPanel getChartPanel() {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
start();
}
});
return new ChartPanel(chart);
}
This is a small main method that I wrote which seemed to do the trick.
public static void main(String[] args) {
PrepareChart prepareChart = new PrepareChart();
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(prepareChart.getChartPanel());
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
Consider renaming your class ChartPanel because it is conflicting with the names of JFreeChart which is confusing. Also, I don't see the use of it since you could perform all that directly on the ChartPanel returned by PrepareChart.
Btw, it is quite odd to put the call to start() in a getter-method.

JFreeChart scaling of Boxplots with several Categories

i am currently working on a java-based project using JFreeChart to display boxplots.
My Problem is how to display a chart containing boxplots for a CategoryDataset with about 20 Categories and 5+ Series.
Currently if the preferred size of the ChartPanel is not set, the Legend, Labels and Annotations are readable but the Boxplots are too small. Or the size of the ChartPanel is set so that the Boxplots have an acceptable size but then the legend, labels and annotations are horizontally stretched.
My question is, how to correctly scale the boxplots without scaling the legend, axis Labels and annotations of the Chart? Is it possible to scale the Plot without scaling all the elements of the Chart?

Set the preferred size of the containing ChartPanel, not the chart, as shown here and here.
Addendum: I don't think you can usefully add a chart to a scroll pane. Instead, create a class similar to SlidingCategoryDataset that implements BoxAndWhiskerCategoryDataset. Add a scroll bar to the frame that controls the first displayed index.
Addendum: A somewhat less ambitious approach is simply to page a portion of the data set using some suitable control, as shown in the example below.
