JavaFX BarChart xAxis labels bad positioning

I have the following Controller for my window:

package window;

import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.scene.chart.BarChart;
import javafx.scene.chart.CategoryAxis;
import javafx.scene.chart.NumberAxis;
import javafx.scene.chart.XYChart;

import java.util.Map;
import java.util.SortedMap;

public class StatisticsController {

    @FXML
    private BarChart<?, ?> barChartHistogram;

    private SortedMap<String, Integer> _points;

    @FXML
    private CategoryAxis xAxis;
    @FXML
    private NumberAxis yAxis;

    public void onLoad(SortedMap<String, Integer> points) {
        xAxis.setLabel("Numer indeksu");
        yAxis.setLabel("Ilość punktów");
        //barChartHistogram.setBarGap(0);
        XYChart.Series series1 = new XYChart.Series();
        int a = 10;
        series1.getData().add(new XYChart.Data("Tom", 10));
        series1.getData().add(new XYChart.Data("Andrew", 7));
        series1.getData().add(new XYChart.Data("Patrick", 5));


        /*for (Map.Entry<String, Integer> p: points.entrySet()) {
            series1.getData().add(new XYChart.Data<>(Integer.toString(a), p.getValue()));
            a += 10;
        }*/
        barChartHistogram.getData().addAll(series1);
        _points = points;
    }

}

The .fxml file for this window:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?import javafx.scene.chart.BarChart?>
<?import javafx.scene.chart.CategoryAxis?>
<?import javafx.scene.chart.NumberAxis?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane?>

<AnchorPane prefHeight="700.0" prefWidth="1000.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/9.0.1" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="window.StatisticsController">
   <children>
      <BarChart fx:id="barChartHistogram" layoutX="12.0" layoutY="14.0" prefHeight="372.0" prefWidth="1500.0">
        <xAxis>
          <CategoryAxis side="BOTTOM" fx:id="xAxis" />
        </xAxis>
        <yAxis>
          <NumberAxis fx:id="yAxis" side="LEFT" />
        </yAxis>
      </BarChart>
   </children>
</AnchorPane>

Everything works perfectly except one thing:

enter image description here

As you can see the x axis label works fine, but the x axis labels (I mean like column names), which should be Tom, Andrew and Patrick are placed in exact same position (through this mess you can actually read Patrick) a the 0 position of x axis. Where is the problem? Should I make some changes to the UI or something?

It's a bug relevant animated property, you can:

  • set xAxis.setAnimated(false) or
  • set animated attribute false: <CategoryAxis animated="false" side="BOTTOM" fx:id="xAxis" />

This is fun , but i was facing the same problem with java11 https://youtu.be/2ZKzWciKtIc?t=36 , after my chart data was loaded the category labels never show. After few tries i decided to set the chart data in a timeline and after it finish set the category labels manually.

Duration duration = Duration.millis(300);
Platform.runLater(()->{
    Timeline timeline = new Timeline(
        new KeyFrame(duration,event -> {
            barChart.getData().clear();
            barChart.getData().add(series1);
            barChart.getData().addAll(series2);
            //Clear all bofore to evitate Exceptions
            catAxis.getCategories().clear();                           
        })
    );
    timeline.setCycleCount(1);
    timeline.setOnFinished(event -> {
    //Set animated as false, so if true all labels will be one in top of the others 
    barChart.setAnimated(false);
    //The trick that worked forr me
    catAxis.getCategories().addAll(lists);
});
timeline.play();  });

I found another work around for this. Simply set xAxis.setAnimated(false)

It's a bug with auto-range of CategoryAxis if the data is set dynamically.

Below is a (non-fxml) example that demonstrates the issue with a crude hack-around: set the categories manually instead of let the chart/axis find them. 

public class BarChartBug extends Application {

    private NumberAxis yAxis;
    private CategoryAxis xAxis;
    private BarChart<String, Number> barChart;

    private Parent createContent() {
        xAxis = new CategoryAxis();
        yAxis = new NumberAxis();
        barChart = new BarChart<>(xAxis, yAxis);

        Button initData = new Button("init");
        initData.setOnAction(e -> {
            xAxis.setLabel("Numer indeksu");
            yAxis.setLabel("Ilo punktw");
            XYChart.Series<String, Number> series1 = new XYChart.Series<>();
            series1.getData().add(new XYChart.Data<String, Number>("Tom", 10));
            series1.getData().add(new XYChart.Data<String, Number>("Andrew", 7));
            series1.getData().add(new XYChart.Data<String, Number>("Patrick", 5));

            // hack-around:
            // xAxis.setCategories(FXCollections.observableArrayList("Tom", "Andrew", "Patrick"));
            barChart.getData().addAll(series1);

            initData.setDisable(true);

        });
        BorderPane pane = new BorderPane(barChart);
        pane.setBottom(initData);
        return pane;

    }

    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
        stage.setScene(new Scene(createContent()));
        stage.setTitle(FXUtils.version());
        stage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
    private static final Logger LOG = Logger
            .getLogger(BarChartBug.class.getName());

}
