When I use JFXtras to embed the charts into a swing JComponent, the charts lose all layout. The chart width and heights are always correct but all the chart content is smushed up into the corner of the scene with no width and height. Did you happen to try to put the ChartDemo into a swing component?

I particularly like any form of UML class diagrams to explain the relationship between classes.

Thanks!

The charts look fine, but is there a support for using date axis? All the examples use number axis, and the API doesn't look to contain support for date.

Any ideas?

After installing Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4, Java Web Start.app an be found in /System/Library/CoreServices/

To restore correct Web Start behavior, do a Get Info on any jnlp file and choose to open it with the Java Web Start.app

The demo on this web page will then launch when clicked! :)

2009-06-18T10:48:01.412-07:00

Apple's Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4 fixes the problems that I reported above. I can run the demo from the command line like this:
javaws ~/Desktop/ChartDemo.jnlp

Unfortunately, the update removes the ability to launch Web Start from the Finder. So the command line is the only way to run jnlp files. Clicking on a Web Start file annoyingly opens it in Dashcode. I assume this problem is only on 32-bit Intel Macs.

Dean,

Yes, the problem is repeatable on my 32-bit Intel Mac. But the demo works fine on my Debian 5.0 Linux and Windows XP machines. I do not have a 64-bit Mac. Cleaning both my browser and Web Start caches did not help. I'm guessing that Apple should set the MIME type for .jnlp files to "application/x-java-jnlp-file" on their idisk.mac.com servers so my old J2SE 5.0 Web Start can recognize them. It would be even better if Apple updated Java on 32-bit Intel Macs to SE 6.

@tsjung75: There has been some work done in the latest version of JFXtras by Jim Clark to embed a JavaFX scene in a JComponent. Generally speaking, it's much easier to embed Java in a JavaFX program though.

@Tom All examples from the book will be released when the book is finished. Probably some time in the next two weeks I would guess.

2009-06-10T19:44:10.733-07:00

Patrick,

Is the error repeatable? I'm wondering if it's just Apple's servers being flaky or a real problem on 32-bit Macs. I know it works on 10.5.7 with 64-bit Macs (what I'm running). Unfortunately, I don't have access to a 32-bit platform at the moment.
