Changing the shapes of points in scatter plot

I have thousands of points to Plot on a JFreeChart scatter plot. The problem right now is that my program is plotting points with "squares", but I need some help on how to change the Shape of points from "squares" to "dots/circles". Any help would be appreciated.

//*I am using ShapeUtilities,but its not changing the shape of point to "DaigonalCross" when I am Using for XYItemRenderer/XYDotRenderer--Any corrections please if anythng wrong in the code ..*///

A ScatterRenderer inherits getItemShape() from AbstractRenderer. You can override getItemShape() to supply your own shapes.

Addendum: One advantage to this approach is that you can specify a Shape for each item in each series.

Addendum: To use ShapeUtilities.createDiagonalCross(), do something like this:

Shape cross = ShapeUtilities.createDiagonalCross(3, 1);
plot = (XYPlot) chart.getPlot();
renderer = plot.getRenderer();
renderer.setSeriesShape(0, cross);

Addendum: Just switch to setSeriesShape(). Also, skip the XYDotRenderer and Math.round().

You can get the plot (for this example its a XYPlot) and then the renderer and change the base shape like this:

// 5x5 red pixel circle
Shape shape  = new Ellipse2D.Double(0,0,5,5);
XYPlot xyPlot = (XYPlot) jFreeCHart.getPlot();
XYItemRenderer renderer = xyPlot.getRenderer();
renderer.setBaseShape(shape);
renderer.setBasePaint(Color.red);

// set only shape of series with index i
renderer.setSeriesShape(i, shape);

You can change much more things, like outline paint/stroke
