I would like to ask a follow up question to this Q&A question (How can I update a JFreeChart's appearance after it's been made visible?) from @trashgod.
I am trying to give the user a JSlider
to control the transparency of the graphs. I added a JSlider
and a ChangeListener
to repaint whenever there is a JSlider change.
slider.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {
@Override
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
chartPanel.repaint();
}
});
However, the transparency is not updated until the user "clicks" the graph with the mouse. Why isn't this working?
