Java - how to receive point coordinates after mouse button release (JFreeChart)

Question

I wrote a simple parabola plot using JFreeChart. I get graphic point coordinates, when mouse button pressed and i also want to get graphic point coordinates, when mouse button released. But chartMouseMoved don't work while mouse button pressing. How can I solve my problem and get graphic coordinates after mouse button releasing?

This is my code:

package parabolademo;

import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import java.awt.geom.Point2D;
import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;

import org.jfree.chart.ChartFactory;

            chartX = 0.0, chartY = 0.0;
    int windowheight = 270;
    public ParabolaDemo(final String title) {

        super(title);
        double[] a = {0.0, 0.0, 1.0};
        Function2D p = new PolynomialFunction2D(a);
        double lrange = -20.0;
        double rrange = 20.0;
        XYDataset dataset = DatasetUtilities.sampleFunction2D(p, lrange, rrange, 1000, "y = f(x)");
        double max = 0.0;

        if (a[2] < 0) {
            max = p.getValue(-a[1] / 2*a[2]);
        }
        else {
            if (p.getValue(lrange) > p.getValue(rrange))
                max = p.getValue(lrange);
            else
                max = p.getValue(rrange);
        }
        System.out.println("max = " + max);
        delta = max / 16.4;

        final JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createXYLineChart(
            "Parabola",
            "X", 
            "Y", 
            dataset,

            true,
            true,
            false
        );

        final ChartPanel chartPanel = new ChartPanel(chart);
        chartPanel.addMouseListener(new CustomListener());
        chartPanel.addChartMouseListener(new ChartMouseListener() {

            @Override

                    chartpy = d.getYValue(0, i);
                    //System.out.println("X:" + chartpx + ", Y:" + chartpy);
                }
                Point2D po = chartPanel.translateScreenToJava2D(cme.getTrigger().getPoint());

            }

    }


    public class CustomListener implements MouseListener {

          public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {

          }

              flag = 1;
              px = chartpx;
              py = chartpy;
              System.out.println("Mouse Pressed! xpos = " + px + "; py = " + py);

Thanks in advance!

As shown here, ChartPanel uses the click-drag-release gesture to handle zooming; setMouseZoomable(false) doesn't change that.

Working from the suggestion shown here, the complete example below prints the coordinates of any clicked point. I've enlarged the series shape to make it easier to see the effect. In addition, Swing GUI objects should be constructed and manipulated only on the event dispatch thread.

            }
        });
    }
}

thanks for code, I wanted a little another. I want to make the editor of polynomials for the program. For example, for parabola creation it is enough to know 3 points (let it is points of p1, p2, p3). We take p1 point, we clamp it and we move on the plane. As p2 and p3 are known, we also can build up again a parabola, knowing new coordinates of a point of p1 and old coordinates of p2 and p3. But it is impossible to learn new coordinates for me for p1 (mouselistener doesn't work when the mouse button is clamped, and the mouse moves on the plane). how it is possible to learn new coordinates? — Denis, Nov 21 '13 at 15:08
I've not done anything like that with `JFreeChart`, but using an adjacent control may be an option; some examples using `JSlider` are seen [here](http://stackoverflow.com/search?tab=votes&q=user%3a230513%20%5bjfreechart%5d%20jslider). — trashgod, Nov 21 '13 at 19:14
I think you would need to override the mouse motion listener methods in `ChartPanel` with your own. — trashgod, Nov 25 '13 at 14:02
