I'm trying to implement a chart in JavaFX. It should:

1. Initially have a linear X axis,
2. When a button is pressed, change the axis to a logarithmic X axis

The problem is that LineChart does not have a setAxis method. Another problem is that my architecture is designed in such a way that I can't simply redraw the LineChart.

I tried to simply recalculate the X-axis values. But in this case the ticks are positioned incorrectly and the chart collapses horizontally.

Then I implemented my own LogarithmicAxis class, which inherits from ValueAxis<Number>. It works correctly, and if I create a lineChart like this:

NumberAxis yAxis = new NumberAxis();
LogarithmicAxis xAxis = new LogarithmicAxis();
LineChart<Number, Number> lineChart = new LineChart<>(xAxis, yAxis);

I get what I need. But I can't change the axis dynamically

My view code consists of methods like

public Region build() {

GridPane gridPane = new GridPane();

ColumnConstraints col1 = new ColumnConstraints();
gridPane.getColumnConstraints().addAll(col1);
gridPane.add(createSettingsBox(), 0, 0, 0, 0);

return gridPane;
}

private Node createSettingsBox() {
    VBox settingsBox = new VBox(10);


    settingsBox.getChildren().add(createButton());

    return settingsBox;
}

So I get the view. But how can I reach the chart and redraw it if it has a high nesting level?
