Customise rendering of individual series with JFreeChart?

Question

I'd like to use a different LineAndShapeRenderer for each series on a JFreeChart TimeSeries graph. Has anyone accomplished this before? It seems the Renderer is owned by the Plot where each JFreeChart has a single Plot object hence the rendering is applicable to all series rather than individual ones.

Answer 1

I have not tried a case like that. However, I have changed the rendering properties of an specific Series with:

// chart is a JFreeChart object
XYItemRenderer renderer = chart.getXYPlot().getRenderer();
renderer.setSeriesStroke(index, new BasicStroke(DEFAULT_LINE_WIDTH));
                        renderer.setSeriesPaint(/* index of series */, /*some color*/);

Answer 2

Thanks very much, there is a similar method for the shape of a series:

XYItemRenderer renderer = chart.getXYPlot().getRenderer();
renderer.setSeriesShape(int series, java.awt.Shape shape)
