can i somehow automatically convert a timeseries dataset into a highlowdataset or should i do it manually?

There's no code to do it for you, but it would make an excellent utility function if you wanted to write something that's fairly generalized and contribute it to the project.

/**

				//set all values
				dates[i]=new Date(msindex+i*candlewidth);
				opens[i]=open;
				highs[i]=hi;
				lows[i]=low;
				closes[i]=close;
				volumes[i]=0;
			}
		}
		
			
		
		DefaultHighLowDataset ret=new DefaultHighLowDataset("name", dates, opens, highs, lows, closes, volumes);
	
		
		
		return ret;
	}

	public void convert(){
		chart=ChartFactory.createCandlestickChart("", "time", "value", convertToDefaultHighLowDataset(x1, 15000), true);
	}

it doesn't work ... i always get an array out of bounds exception ... in getTimePeriod(n); ...

getTimePeriod(0) works though ...
