100 mBTC Bounty - New Bar Graph Style (Step Chart)

[gavalian]

Hi, I just recently discovered xchart, and I loved it. Has very nice features. and easy to use.
I have seen that this project is being actively maintained, and I thought I would request a feature:
Is it possible to have histograms with outside lines only ? (not filled with color I mean).

I have also saw a request on density plots, that would have been a very nice addition.

Thanks for the feature request. I added a style option for this.

Please see BarChart02.java.

You'll have to use the latest snapshot jars of course.

The contour plots isn't something I have time for right now, but I agree that it'd be a great chart to have. I'll put it on my todo list.

Hi,

Thanks for the feature, I actually had something slightly different in mind. I was wondering if it would be difficult to implement. By outlines I meant not closed bars, but rather something similar to the figure attached.

It will be useful to have the ability to fill them with a color as well (as in the next figure).

My final goal is to produce figures shown in two graphs here, I haven't found how to draw line on top of the bar chart, is there an easy way to do this.

I find your library easy to work with, it produces nice PDF outputs, which is what I require, and would love to continue using it, thanks for your effort and consideration for features.

Ah, I see what you mean. I can implement that.

I want to work in this one ,is it still open?

[timmolter]

Yeah, it's all yours if you want.

[joshafest]

is it done ? or still open bounty

[timmolter]

@joshafest I haven't heard a single peep. @on247 Are you working on this or can @joshafest take a crack at it?

[joshafest]

hey man relax....i can help you. In core java. But first i have to go through your xchart.
any way i will try my best , just asked if you are offline.

[on247]

I will be working on it , yeah

[billyshea]

Is it okay if I fill this?

I'm working on a solution to this, although drawing the curved line will take a bit longer.

[timmolter]

The curve isn't necessary. I think @on247 claimed this bounty first, so let's see if he'll give it up for you.

[billyshea]

Fair enough.
