JFrame in scala.swing

I am not sure I understand what you want to do and where the problem is.
I am not familiar with JFreeChart either. Could you elaborate?

Thanks

Sorry to reply to my own message, but I figured it out. ChartFrame is a
JFrame, but JFrame is *not* a JComponent. However, JFreeCharts offers a
ChartPanel, which is a JPanel, thus a JComponent. A simple
Component.wrap(chart) and it works.

Somehow I thought it would be more difficult. Scala really kicks ass.

Thanks!

One thing that may work is to create a  scala.swing version ChartFrame. I may be wrong but a lot of the classes in scala.swing are components wrapping a JComponent or JFrame and adding a set of traits. It may actually be easy to get some class that inherits JFrame and add the traits and wrapping you need. Whenever in doubt I look at the scala.swing source for inspiration (and amazement) on how to do things.

Agreed, and I really like the scala.swing way of doing things.
