JFreeChart Bar Graph Labels

Question

I have made it possible for value labels to appear on top of the bar in JFreeChart. However, it would look better if the labels are inside the bars. How do I make this work? The image below shows what I wanted the graph to look like.

Answer 1

I used the following code to make it work:

StackedBarRenderer renderer = new StackedBarRenderer(false);
renderer.setBaseItemLabelGenerator(new StandardCategoryItemLabelGenerator());
renderer.setBaseItemLabelsVisible(true);
chart.getCategoryPlot().setRenderer(renderer);`

Answer 2

You can use ItemLabelPosition DOC Here

renderer.setBasePositiveItemLabelPosition(new ItemLabelPosition(ItemLabelAnchor.OUTSIDE12,TextAnchor.TOP_CENTER  ))

Output :-
