Subscript in Axis description

问题

I wanted to know if it is possible to use subscript in axis description. I have the following code

    XYItemRenderer lineYY = new StandardXYItemRenderer();
    lineYY.setSeriesPaint(0, Color.BLUE);
    lineYY.setSeriesVisibleInLegend(0,false);
    final NumberAxis yaxY = new NumberAxis("ax [m/s²]");
    yaxY.setRange(-11, 11);
    yaxY.setAutoRangeIncludesZero(false);
    XYPlot plotYY = new XYPlot(datasetY,null,yaxY, lineYY);
    plotYY.setRangeAxisLocation(AxisLocation.TOP_OR_LEFT);

Is there a way to subscript the x in the String "ax [m/s²]"? An subscript would be e.g. X₉

回答1:

Using the approach shown here, you can specify an AttributedString for the desired axis label. Given a NumberAxis named domain, the example below uses TextAttribute values to alter the SIZE and WEIGHT of some characters, subscripts the second character and superscripts the exponent.

String s = "ax [m/s2]";
AttributedString as = new AttributedString(s);
as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.SIZE, 24, 0, 2);
as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.SIZE, 16, 3, 9);
as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.WEIGHT, TextAttribute.WEIGHT_BOLD, 0, 2);
as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.SUPERSCRIPT, TextAttribute.SUPERSCRIPT_SUB, 1, 2);
as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.SUPERSCRIPT, TextAttribute.SUPERSCRIPT_SUPER, 7, 8);
domain.setAttributedLabel(as);

You can try to use unicode values for the subscript/superscript - these should be respected by the Graphics2D rendering of the axis label (via Graphics2D.drawString method). For instance 'X\u2089' would be rendered similar to X₉. This is of course dependent on the Unicode subscript value existing as well as java supporting it.

I am not sure about jFreeChart, but a pure java string could bear that, please try:

final NumberAxis yaxY = new NumberAxis("a\u2093 [m/s²]");
