Hi, >> TimeSeriesChartGenerator chartgen; >> SeriesAttributes[] attrib = new TimeSeriesAttributes[2]; >> XYSeries[] series = new XYSeries[2]; >> series[0] = new XYSeries("Fish", false); >> series[1] = new XYSeries("Seal", false); >> chartgen.addSeries(series[0], null); >> chartgen.addSeries(series[1], null); >> attrib = chartgen.getSeriesAttributes(); The MASON16 documentation and also my IDE says that getSeriesAttributes() is a protected method. So how can you access it like that ?? I also want to set the line color of a TimeSeries, but Eclipse insists: "The method getSeriesAttributes() from the type ChartGenerator is not visible" What am I doing different form you ? Many thanks, Axel
