Re: Plot Chart from a Txt file

No of course not. I don't have that file and you have it commented out. You said the graphic was not plotting.

Re: Plot Chart from a Txt file

I don't think you want an XYSeries for that. If you want it to be a line chart (bar chart seems more appropriate to me, but you seem to want the line chart), try this instead
Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. private CategoryDataset createDataset() throws Exception {
  2.  
  3. DefaultCategoryDataset dataset = new DefaultCategoryDataset();
  4. dataset.addValue(255, "Errors", "error1");
  5. dataset.addValue(34, "Errors", "error2");
  6. dataset.addValue(111, "Errors", "error5");
  7. dataset.addValue(23, "Errors", "error3");
  8.  
  9. return dataset;
  10. }
  11.  
  12. private JFreeChart createChart(CategoryDataset dataset) {
  13. // create the chart...
  14. JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createLineChart(
  15. "Medida", // chart title
  16. "Error Code", // x axis label
  17. "Count", // y axis label
  18. dataset, // data
  19. PlotOrientation.VERTICAL,
  20. true, // include legend
  21. true, // tooltips
  22. false // urls
  23. );
  24.  
  25. return chart;
  26. }
All you have to do is build that category dataset with the first and second elements of your spilt() on the text file line.
