package com.bethecoder.tutorials.jfree_charts.tests;

import org.jfree.chart.ChartFactory;
import org.jfree.chart.ChartFrame;
import org.jfree.chart.JFreeChart;
import org.jfree.chart.plot.PlotOrientation;
import org.jfree.data.category.DefaultCategoryDataset;

public class HorizontalBarChart {

  public static void main(String arg[]) {

    // Prepare the data set
    DefaultCategoryDataset barDataset = new DefaultCategoryDataset();
    barDataset.setValue(26"Drinks""Coca-Cola");
    barDataset.setValue(20"Drinks""Pepsi");
    barDataset.setValue(12"Drinks""Gold Spot");
    barDataset.setValue(14"Drinks""Slice");
    barDataset.setValue(18"Drinks""Appy Fizz");
    barDataset.setValue(10"Drinks""Limca");

    //Create the chart
    JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createBarChart(
        "Soft Drink Bar Chart""Drink""Share", barDataset,
        PlotOrientation.HORIZONTAL, false, true, false);
    
    //Render the frame
    ChartFrame chartFrame = new ChartFrame("Horizontal Bar Chart", chart);
    chartFrame.setVisible(true);
    chartFrame.setSize(560350);
  }
  
}
   

It gives the following output,
