You can call setSeriesShape(int, Shape) in the renderer. Make sure the shape is defined with its centre at (0, 0) otherwise it won't align properly to the data point.

This is a Java2D question rather than a JFreeChart one, but...why don't you look at the GeneralPath class or the Polygon class in the Java APIs. These classes both implement the Shape interface, and can easily be used to represent a triangle.
