JFreeChart with truncated data points

Question

I have created a JFreeChart with the code below, but the Y-Axis marks are truncated. How should I display the chart even though the data points are overlapped in the Y-Axis? Bas

Answer 1

I have managed to sort this out, by reading the data points, finding the maximum number, then inserting maximum under xyplot setRange() method.

You shouldn't have to do so. In the excerpt below, why are you getting the domain axis, replacing it with reference to the the range axis, and then altering the range axis? Did you mean to change the domain axis, instead? See this related example.

domainAxis = (NumberAxis) plot.getDomainAxis();
domainAxis = (NumberAxis) plot.getRangeAxis();
domainAxis.setAutoRangeIncludesZero(false);

Addendum: A minimal sscce showing auto-range of random data.
