i wanted to do that the on botton click the jfreechart is open on the panel and save in Drive

please help me out I am newbie

code is below..........

        final ChartPanel chartPanel = new ChartPanel(chart);
        chartPanel.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(500, 270));
        setContentPane(chartPanel);
    }

    private IntervalXYDataset createDataset() throws IOException {

                pixel = imageA.getRaster().getPixel(x, y, new int[3]);
                red[k] = pixel[0];

            series.add(i, redhisto[i]);

        final XYSeriesCollection dataset = new XYSeriesCollection(series);
        return dataset;
    }

    private JFreeChart createChart(IntervalXYDataset dataset) {
        final JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createXYBarChart(
                "Histogram of oriented Image", "X", false, "Y", dataset,
                PlotOrientation.VERTICAL, true, true, false);
        XYPlot plot = (XYPlot) chart.getPlot();
        saveChart(chart);
        return chart;

    }

        String fileName = "D:/histogram.jpg";

        try {

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            System.err.println("creating erroe during chart prepartatin");

Instead of calling saveChart() in createChart, do so in a button's Action.

final JFreeChart chart = createChart(dataset);
final ChartPanel chartPanel = new ChartPanel(chart);
add(chartPanel);
add(new JButton(new AbstractAction("Save") {

    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        saveChart(chart);
    }
}), BorderLayout.SOUTH);

i do that what u have suggested but it didn't show any result i.e. on button click no map will open neither it saves – vaib Jun 17 '14 at 05:21
I'm confused. I called your `saveChart()` method. Does it not work for you? Note JPEG loses resolution. You want the chart to appear a _second_ time when you click the button? You could try a `JOptionPane`. – trashgod Jun 17 '14 at 10:38
@ trashgod it works as previously my image is save in jpeg format ,what i want is on buttonclick the jfreechart is generated and as well as it saves in drive – vaib Jun 17 '14 at 11:04
You should be able to `clear()` the `XYSeries` in the dataset; when you `add()` new values, the listening chart will update itself. – trashgod Jun 17 '14 at 18:03
thanks ,can u please elaborate this,suppose in my swing application if i want to show the captured fingerprint image on button click.when i click the button the image is show on the panel same like that what i want there is button when i click on button the jfreechart of histogram is created and automatically it will save in any drive of my computer – vaib Jun 18 '14 at 06:36
Use one `JFileChooser` to let the user select the original file and another to select where to save the chart. – trashgod Jun 18 '14 at 15:12
