is there a possibility to automatically add the labels of the column names to both axis of e.g. the "Scatter Plot" oder "Interactive Histogram" nodes? If I use the plots I have to add these label manually...
One could use jfreechart but there are (at least) two disadvantages: colors from the color management are not used and the label for the axis have to changed manually.
I would reccomend having a look at the interactive R nodes for a way to build highly customized plots in KNIME. The ggplot2 library specifically has been a nice recent addition to my repetroire.
Also, generating charts in BIRT as part of a reporting step also is a good way to build customized plots if you don't want to script at all.
You are right, but I do not have the interativity of the normel KNIME scatter plot view where I can change both displayed columns and diretly see the result.
