I am drawing a histogram in JFreeChart. The histogram has multiple series. I want a separate bar for each series in each bin. I want to draw the bars side by side –– not layered on top of each other. Unfortunately, JFreeChart layers the bars on top of each other. I tried to attach a screenshot of the histogram, but Stack Overflow said, "Failed to upload image; an error occurred on the server." I found a similar question for matplotlib in Python.

Server Error: Failed to upload image; an error occurred on the server

How do I show the histogram bars side by side on the same plot?

Update 2022-10-14: Please find attached a screenshot of a histogram drawn by JFreeChart. Note that the bars from the blue series layer on top of the bars from the red series. I prefer to see the bars from both series side by side.

This [example](https://stackoverflow.com/a/28519356/230513) uses transparency and visibility. – trashgod Oct 16 '22 at 18:35

Can you use a `StackedXYBarRenderer`? – Catalina Island Oct 17 '22 at 16:07
