JFreeChart: customizing BoxAndWhisker chart

Question

I started using JFreeChart to do some plotting. I would like my chart to look like the image below:

Answer 1

Instead of a BoxAndWhiskerRenderer, examined here, use a MinMaxCategoryRenderer with PlotOrientation.HORIZONTAL and a custom AxisLocation.

CategoryPlot plot = (CategoryPlot) chart.getPlot();
plot.setOrientation(PlotOrientation.HORIZONTAL);
MinMaxCategoryRenderer renderer = new MinMaxCategoryRenderer();
plot.setRenderer(renderer);
plot.setRangeAxisLocation(AxisLocation.BOTTOM_OR_LEFT);

You can change the Icon used like this, or you can create your own icons based on this approach.

renderer.setObjectIcon(renderer.getMinIcon());
