Display Bar Values in JFreeChart

[Steve Dyke]

I have a bar chart I created using the ChartFactory for bar chart method. I don't see any parameter to turn on the bar value labels. Can someone help with this?

Not all possible parameters can be passed in via those convenience methods. The general approach would be something like:

CategoryItemrenderer render = ((CategoryPlot) myChart.getPlot()).getRenderer()

The rest is similar to what we discussed in http://www.coderanch.com/t/432205/Other-Open-Source-Projects/Display-Bar-Values-Chart

Can this be used with the ChartFactory method or do I have to back up and design the chart from scratch?

You'd use the chart instance created by the ChartFactory method. Before the chart is actually created, all the settings can be changed - in the Plot, Renderer, Axis, etc.
