如何编写JFreeCharts中绘制点之间的时间延迟？

Question

有没有办法使用JFreeCharts为xy线图的绘图过程设置动画？ 我希望能够观看程序绘制每一条线段并连接它们。

例如，如果我将它粘贴到TextArea中，“gtgtaaacaatatatggcg”，我想要看它每个线段的图形。

在此先感谢！ :)

我的代码如下：

import java.util.Scanner; 
import java.applet.Applet; 
import java.awt.*; 
import java.awt.event.ActionListener; 
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; 
import org.jfree.chart.*; 
import org.jfree.chart.plot.PlotOrientation; 
import org.jfree.data.xy.*; 

public class RandomWalkComplete extends Applet implements ActionListener 
{ 
    Panel panel; 
    TextArea textarea, outputArea; 
    Button move,exit; 
    String thetext; 
    Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in); 
    String thetext2; 
    Label instructions; 

    int x,y; 

    public void init() 
    { 
     setSize(500,250); //set size of applet 

     instructions=new Label("Paste the gene sequences in the " + 
       "text field and press the graph button."); 
     add(instructions); 

     panel = new Panel(); 
     add(panel); 
     setVisible(true); 
     textarea= new TextArea(10,20); 
     add(textarea); 

     move=new Button("Graph"); 
     move.addActionListener(this); 
     add(move); 

     exit=new Button("Exit"); 
     exit.addActionListener(this); 
     add(exit); 
    } 

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) 
    { 
     XYSeries series = new XYSeries("DNA Walk",false,true); 

     x= 0; y = 0; 
     series.add(x,y); 

     if(e.getSource() == move) 
     { 
      thetext=textarea.getText(); //the text is the DNA bases pasted 
      thetext=thetext.replaceAll(" ",""); //removes spaces 
      thetext2 = ""; 

      for(int i=0; i<thetext.length(); i++) 
      { 
      char a = thetext.charAt(i); 

      switch (a) 
      { 
       case 'A': case 'a'://moves right 
        x+=1; y+=0; 
        series.add(x,y); 
        break; 

       case 'C': case 'c': //moves up 
        x+=0; y+=1; 
        series.add(x,y); 
        break; 

       case 'G': case 'g': //move left 
        x-=1; y+=0; 
        series.add(x,y); 
        break; 

       case 'T': case 't'://move down 
        x+=0; y-=1; 
        series.add(x,y); 
        break; 

       default: // series.add(0,0); 
        break; 
      } 
      }      
     XYDataset xyDataset = new XYSeriesCollection(series); 
     JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createXYLineChart("DNA Random Walk", 
      "", "", xyDataset, PlotOrientation.VERTICAL, true, true, false); 
     ChartFrame frame1=new ChartFrame("DNA Random Walk",chart); 
     frame1.setVisible(true); 
     frame1.setSize(300,300); 
     }  
     if(e.getSource()==exit) 
     {System.exit(0);}  
    } 
    public void stop(){} 
}

的javax.swing.Timer一个实例很适合这一点，因为在How to Use Swing Timers描述。

附录：正如@David Sauter所观察到的，scheduleAtFixedRate()方法java.util.Timer将是一个合适的选择。文章Using Timers in Swing Applications比较了这两种方法。
