Grouped bar chart

Hi

I have been looking around the source code, but without success so far.

I want to do something like the StackedBarChartDemo4, but with "normal" bars and not stacked.

Is this possible?

I think you are referring to the "grouped" feature. In JfreeChart there is the BarRenderer, the StackedBarRenderer and the GroupedStackedBarRenderer but no GroupedBarRenderer.

Anyway, I think it is possible to achive what you want also with the GroupedStackedBarRenderer.

Is the solution you think of having one item on each stacked bar? One item that takes 100% of the bar. I assume that could be done.

Do you, or anyone, know why there is no GroupedBarRenderer?
Any technical reasons, or just haven't been done yet?

I think about having only one item in a series.

I suppose, just haven't been done yet.

It seems that I don't need a grouped bar renderer afterall.

Adding a SubCategory axis to the plot does exactly what I need to do.
I also need to set a fixed legend, like in the grouped stack demo4, to avoid the large legend that would otherwise be added.

Maybe that explains why there is no renderer implementation available?

I am however having some problems setting the category label position. If I set it on the SubCategory it seems to only be applied to the category labels already in the plot.
