Decreasing gap for horizontal bar chart

[sayan_maity]

Hi,
I want to decrease the gap on the left hand side of the horizontal bar chart i.e. the gap between the outline and the label. I am using category axis.

Thanks,
Sayan

You ought to be able to do this:

Code: Select all

        CategoryPlot plot = (CategoryPlot) chart.getPlot();
        plot.setInsets(new RectangleInsets(0, 0, 0, 0));
        plot.getDomainAxis().setLabelInsets(new RectangleInsets(0, 0, 0, 0));

While I was checking this, I spotted a bug which will be fixed by this patch (for inclusion in the 1.0.5 release):

Code: Select all
