It looks like you need to use a standard XYLineChart with a XYStepRenderer
and a SymbolAxis
to replace the default Range Axis rather than a CategoryStepRenderer
and a horizontal plot orientation
If you associate Status A and B with a numerical value say 1 and 2 you can create a chart like this:
Using this a XYStepRenderer
XYStepRenderer renderer = new XYStepRenderer();
renderer.setBaseShapesVisible(true);
renderer.setSeriesStroke(0, new BasicStroke(2.0f));
renderer.setSeriesStroke(1, new BasicStroke(2.0f));
renderer.setBaseToolTipGenerator(new StandardXYToolTipGenerator());
renderer.setDefaultEntityRadius(6);
plot.setRenderer(renderer);
and a Symbol Axis
String[] grade = new String[3];
grade[0] = "";
grade[1] = "Status A";
grade[2] = "Status B";
SymbolAxis rangeAxis = new SymbolAxis("", grade);
rangeAxis.setTickUnit(new NumberTickUnit(1));
rangeAxis.setRange(0,3);
plot.setRangeAxis(rangeAxis);
In this example the SymbolAxis
provides an alternative label for each value in the Axis
