Is it possible to change the bar color?
I have coded a simple program for counting.
I want to implement one more thing: if the count number is greater than 200, use blue color to draw the bar. If not, use yellow color to do so.
Currently, all bar color is in red.
So, I would like to ask, is it possible to change the bar color?
If yes, can someone give me some guide to realize?
Thanks in advance!
attached is my coding:

DefaultCategoryDataset dataset = new DefaultCategoryDataset();
try
{
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
java.sql.Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/delivery","root","root");
Statement sta = con.createStatement();
ResultSet res = sta.executeQuery("SELECT inventory, subject from statistics");
int count;
String subject;
while (res.next())
{
count = res.getInt("inventory");
subject = res.getString("subject");
dataset.addValue(count,"enrollment count statistics", subject);
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
}
JFreeChart bar = ChartFactory.createBarChart("Enrollment Chart", "subject","Count",dataset, PlotOrientation.HORIZONTAL,true, false, false);
//BarRenderer renderer = (BarRenderer) bar.getCategoryPlot().getRenderer();
String fileName = "/bar.png";
String file = application.getRealPath("/") + fileName;
try
{
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
ChartUtilities.writeChartAsPNG(fileOut, bar, 300, 300);
}
catch (IOException e)
{
out.print(e);

The magic is the getItemPaint(int,int) method of the BarRenderer class.
An example is at http://javabeanz.wordpress.com/2007/07/04/creating-barcharts-with-custom-colours-using-jfreechart/
What you're trying to do would be something like:
class CustomRenderer extends BarRenderer
{
public CustomRenderer()
{
}
public Paint getItemPaint(final int row, final int column)
{
// returns color depending on y coordinate.
return (row > 200) ? Color.blue : Color.yellow ;
}
}
And then after your call to ChartFactory.createBarChart, you do
final CategoryPlot plot = chart.getCategoryPlot();
CategoryItemRenderer renderer = new CustomRenderer();
plot.setRenderer(renderer);
Plot plot = bar.getPlot();
BarRenderer barRenderer = (BarRenderer)plot.getRenderer();
barRenderer.setSeriesPaint(0, Color.gray);
Get a handle to the BarRenderer and call setSeriesPaint(int series, java.awt.Paint paint) on it.
