java - Width of the bar in Jfreechart

Question

Is there a way to adjust the width of the bars in a Barchart?

I create my chart with the following code.

final JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createBarChart("Report", // chart title
                "Date", // domain axis label
                "Number", // range axis label
                dataset, // data
                PlotOrientation.VERTICAL, // orientation
                true, // include legend
                true, // tooltips?
                false // URLs?
                );

You can also set the maximum width of a bar. This is useful if you have a wide chart but occasionally there are only one or two data points and you don't want a single big fat bar taking up the whole area.

CategoryPlot categoryPlot = chart.getCategoryPlot();
BarRenderer br = (BarRenderer) categoryPlot.getRenderer();
br.setMaximumBarWidth(.35); // set maximum width to 35% of chart
