There's a bug in Chart Controls. Appearently, if you use the same Data collection in more than one chart.


Here's the code from forum:
Add two charts, then add a data point. The application crashes.


import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.collections.FXCollections;
import javafx.collections.ObservableList;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.chart.AreaChart;
import javafx.scene.chart.NumberAxis;
import javafx.scene.chart.XYChart;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class TestApp2 extends Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Application.launch(args);
    }

    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {

        final Button button = new Button("Add new chart");
        final Button addDataButton = new Button("Add another data point");

        final ObservableList<XYChart.Data<Number, Number>> series1Data = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
        series1Data.add(new XYChart.Data<Number, Number>(0, 0));
        final VBox root = new VBox(10);
        HBox buttons = new HBox(5);
        buttons.getChildren().addAll(button, addDataButton);
        root.getChildren().add(buttons);

        button.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
            @Override
            public void handle(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
                NumberAxis timeAxis = new NumberAxis();
                NumberAxis memoryAxis = new NumberAxis();

                AreaChart<Number, Number> chart = new AreaChart<Number, Number>(timeAxis, memoryAxis);

                final ObservableList<XYChart.Series<Number, Number>> data = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
                chart.setData(data);

                XYChart.Series<Number, Number> series1 = new XYChart.Series<Number, Number>();
                data.add(series1);


                series1.setData(series1Data);

                root.getChildren().add(chart);
            }
        });

        addDataButton.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {

            @Override
            public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
                double x = series1Data.size();
                double y = Math.log(x + 1);
                series1Data.add(new XYChart.Data<Number, Number>(x, y));
            }
        });

        stage.setScene(new Scene(root, 400, 800));

        stage.show();
    }

}
