You may have started with org.jfree.chart.demo.PieChartDemo1, as the source is include in the distribution. Unfortunately, DefaultPieDataset does not support sub-categories suitable for partitioning.

Here's an outline of one approach:

• Extend DefaultPieDataset to include the data required to model the partition, e.g. Set<String> lostand Set<String> found, representing the set of keys belonging to each partition.

• Use a palette or related colors to show related items, e.g. shades of red for lost and shades of blue for found. This example illustrates the approach for GanttRenderer using a palette of varying saturation. This example illustrates the approach for XYItemRenderer using a palette of varying hue. Naturally, you'll need to override getSectionPaint() instead of getItemPaint().
