Has anyone done anything with making the line charts 3D?
I'd like to do it and make the line chart w/ a dropshadow, but wanted to be sure I wasn't recreating the wheel here.
thanks,
andrew

XY3dLineRenderer
maybe answered my own question here, looks like in the newer releases there's an XY3DLineRenderer, so maybe good to go, if I can figure out the right 3DPlot to go with it.

Hi,
do not look any further.
There is no specific "3D plot". All you need is a suitable 3D axis and a renderer which supports 3D.
However, my attempts to generate a 3D XYplot (by using two NumberAxis3D and the XYLine3DRenderer) failed. The data points were rendered using 3D but not the axis. I then checked the sources, and it turned out that NumberAxis3D retrieves the offsets for the 3d effect only if the plot is a CategoryPlot and only if CategoryPlot.getRenderer() returns an instance of Effect3D.
You will probably have to patch NumberAxis3D to get the 3D effect for XYPlots.
