Hi,

I am an extensive user of JFreeChart as I find this as the best API for a java programmer to draw, display and save any kinna chart.
In my current project I need to draw a stackedbar chart for users who are unfortunatly color blind.
For this I cant use colors to distinguish stackes.I need to incorporate horizental, vertical or digonal strips in the stacks for this.
Is this kinna chart is feasible using JFreeChart?? Is yes please give me some hint.
Thanks in advance,
Partha
N.B. Its very very urgent. I need to submit a feasibility report within 2-3 days...

JFreeChart can fill the bars using any instance of Paint, so you could try Java's TexturePaint for this. The only problem is that TexturePaint uses bitmaps, so the quality isn't so great, particularly if you want to output to vector formats like PDF and SVG.

The alternative is to customise the renderer and use your own code to fill the bars.
