    • resizeRange

      public void resizeRange(double percent)
      Increases or decreases the axis range by the specified percentage about the central value and sends an AxisChangeEvent to all registered listeners.

      Overrides:
      resizeRange in class ValueAxis
      Parameters:
      percent - the resize factor.
      See Also:
    • resizeRange

      public void resizeRange(double percent, double anchorValue)
      Description copied from class: ValueAxis
      Increases or decreases the axis range by the specified percentage about the specified anchor value and sends an AxisChangeEvent to all registered listeners.

      To double the length of the axis range, use 200% (2.0). To halve the length of the axis range, use 50% (0.5).

      Overrides:
      resizeRange in class ValueAxis
      Parameters:
      percent - the resize factor.
      anchorValue - the new central value after the resize.
      See Also:
    • resizeRange2

      public void resizeRange2(double percent, double anchorValue)
      Resizes the axis length to the specified percentage of the current range and sends a change event to all registered listeners. If percent is greater than 1.0 (100 percent) then the axis range is increased (which has the effect of zooming out), while if the percent is less than 1.0 the axis range is decreased (which has the effect of zooming in). The resize occurs around an anchor value (which may not be in the center of the axis). This is used to support mouse wheel zooming around an arbitrary point on the plot.

      This method is overridden to perform the percentage calculations on the log values (which are linear for this axis).
      Overrides:
      resizeRange2 in class ValueAxis
      Parameters:
      percent - the percentage (must be greater than zero).
      anchorValue - the anchor value.

      Overrides:
      equals in class ValueAxis
      Parameters:
      obj - the object (null permitted).
      Returns:
      A boolean.
    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Returns a hash code for this instance.
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Axis
      Returns:
      A hash code.
