I want to create a Bar Chart, using JFreeChart, with vertical labels above the bars. I can do this using an ItemLabelPositioner as follows:

BarRenderer renderer = (BarRenderer)plot.getRenderer();
ItemLabelPosition pOut = new ItemLabelPosition(ItemLabelAnchor.OUTSIDE12, TextAnchor.CENTER_LEFT, TextAnchor.CENTER_LEFT, -Math.PI / 2.0);
renderer.setBasePositiveItemLabelPosition(pOut);

However, the labels on the tallest bars go off the top of the chart. Is there a way I can prevent this without doing complicated calculations on label sizes and setting the upper margin?

You may use something like this : 

renderer.setItemLabelAnchorOffset(10); //giving some margins

  • I don't think this helps solve my immediate problem, but this is a useful piece of functionality for another issue I have, so thanks! – Mick Francis Mar 11 '14 at 14:34
