JavaFX Tutorial - JavaFX ScatterChart








A scatter chart is a two-axis chart that presents its data as a set of points. Each point is defined by an X and Y value.

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        CategoryAxis xAxis = new CategoryAxis();
        NumberAxis yAxis = new NumberAxis();
        ScatterChart scatterChart = new ScatterChart(xAxis, yAxis);
        scatterChart.setData(getChartData());
        scatterChart.setTitle("speculations");
        primaryStage.setTitle("ScatteredChart example");

        StackPane root = new StackPane();
        root.getChildren().add(scatterChart);
        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 400, 250));
        primaryStage.show();
    }

    private ObservableList<XYChart.Series<String, Double>> getChartData() {
      double aValue = 1.56;
      double cValue = 1.06;
      ObservableList<XYChart.Series<String, Double>> answer = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
      Series<String, Double> aSeries = new Series<String, Double>();
      Series<String, Double> cSeries = new Series<String, Double>();
      aSeries.setName("a");
      cSeries.setName("C");
      
      for (int i = 2011; i < 2021; i++) {
          aSeries.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(Integer.toString(i), aValue));
          aValue = aValue + Math.random() - .5;
          cSeries.getData().add(new XYChart.Data(Integer.toString(i), cValue));
          cValue = cValue + Math.random() - .5;
      }
      answer.addAll(aSeries, cSeries);
      return answer;
    }
}

The code above generates the following result.
