#805 setBackgroundPaint function in ArcDialFrame not working

[Anonymous]

The use of the setBackgroundPaint function from the ArcDialFrame class does not seem to have any effect.

Here is a sample code:

DialPlot plot = new DialPlot();
ArcDialFrame arcdialframe = new ArcDialFrame(-120, -300);
arcdialframe.setForegroundPaint(Color.GREEN);
arcdialframe.setBackgroundPaint(Color.RED);
plot.setDialFrame(arcdialframe);

The DialFrame is always dispayed without a background regardless of setBackgroundPaint.

Hi,

i don't know how to submit patches.

I think the error is in

- org.jfree.chart.plot.dial.ArcDialFrame
- method draw(...)
- replace line 393 (in revision 665)
g2.setPaint(Color.lightGray);
with
g2.setPaint(this.backgroundPaint);

May be one should also change the comments for the properties 'backgroundPaint' and 'foregroundPaint' ...

I hope I'm right :)

Hi

To overcome this I just subclassed ArcDialFrame - here is my code:

import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Shape;
import java.awt.geom.Area;
import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;

import org.jfree.chart.plot.dial.ArcDialFrame;
import org.jfree.chart.plot.dial.DialPlot;
/*
* The supplied one doesn't use the background color where drawing - fix it here
* rather than recompile source code of library.
*/
public class ArcDialFrameCustom extends ArcDialFrame {

private static final long serialVersionUID = 2232424579603517918L;

public ArcDialFrameCustom\(double d, double e\) \{
    super\(d, e\);
\}

public void draw\(Graphics2D g2, DialPlot plot, Rectangle2D frame,
        Rectangle2D view\) \{
    Shape window = getWindow\(frame\);

Shape outerWindow = getOuterWindow(frame);

Area area1 = new Area(outerWindow);
Area area2 = new Area(window);
area1.subtract(area2);
g2.setPaint(this.getBackgroundPaint());
g2.fill(area1);

g2.setStroke(this.getStroke());
g2.setPaint(this.getForegroundPaint());
g2.draw(window);
g2.draw(outerWindow);
}

}
