Multiple OHLC datasets in one image

Question

How can I chart multiple datasets in one image using JFreeChart ?

Essentially I want to chart a stock's price and it's moving average line in one image.

I've tried getting the XYPlot and adding the second dataset, but it does not work.

DefaultOHLCDataset dataset = new DefaultOHLCDataset(symbol, items);
DefaultOHLCDataset dataset2 = new DefaultOHLCDataset(symbol, evs);
JFreeChart chart2 = ChartFactory.createHighLowChart(
    symbol, "minutes", "prices", dataset, true);        
chart2.getXYPlot().setDataset(1, dataset2);

Or is there any specialized java library for stock trading application that's easier to use?

Answer 1

Note that DefaultOHLCDataset is "A simple implementation of the OHLCDataset interface. This implementation supports only one series." You probably want OHLCSeriesCollection, which also implements OHLCDataset and can hold more than one OHLCSeries.
