JavaFX 2.x : Logarithmic scale on Y axis

问题:

As from this very good post here

Logarithmic scale in Java FX 2

I have changed this class to get log scale on Y axis, and it works fine. The only problem I have is that there are very few horizontal grid lines and scale always start ranges from 0 or near zero.

Here is what I get

I would like to have tick values grid also in the min and max range of my data serie, in this case min = 19,35 max = 20,35; as of now all 10 horizontal grid lines are all plotted outside this range.

How to accomplish this?

Thanks all, here is my log code for Y axis

回答1:

I think your problem is this:

    super(1, 100);

From the documentation:

Create a non-auto-ranging ValueAxis with the given upper & lower bound

Try using a constructor without parameters, which will make the boundaries auto-ranging.

You should end up with a constructor looking like this:

public LogarithmicAxis() {
    // was: super(1, 100);
    super();
    bindLogBoundsToDefaultBounds();
}
