How do I make a graph show up in a JFreeChart in CombinedRangeXYPlot?

So you mean you want to combine three plots into one say showing each plot in its own color?
Correct?

This is the general instruction how to cobine charts

http://www.jfree.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=29530

Yes, I am trying to show three series that share the same Y axis.

I have them set up as subplots but I can't get the series (lines)  to display on the subplots and it's the last screenshot shown.

I understand, so you still want to show them separately.
Which JFreeChart and JCommons jar are you using?

jfreechart-1.0.13-A4.pdf

I included a screenshot below.

 

So you used the latest 1.0.13 and 1.0.16.
I was asking because I had previously that code which would not run with the latest.
OK, try to look at the manual, meybe you'd find something, I'll later
try to play with it also.
Do you think it owuld be OK with you if we orient these
three plots with the common axis horizontally?
Not that I know for sure, but it may be easier to find
such horizontal example somehwere. Vertically, like you showed
 looks more rare, though it probably should allow it.

Thanks for all your help.  I have to code it to appear vertically because it is a well log which displays properties of the well vertically.  

It is similar to the link I am showing below.
http://www.oilandgasgeologist.com/oil%20and%20gas%20geologist/Images/well%20log%20copy.jpg

Ideally, the values should get larger going down but I am settling for the upside down orientation due to time constraints.

Well, after all if we draw it horizonatlly we can then make transformation, yes, it should be doable.
I'm not that great specialist in JFreeChart.
Maybe someone helps with that sooner, if not I'll also try to play with it.
In the mantime look at the manual, maybe you'll find something there

Look at page 98-99 of the manual - exactly about Combined Range XY plot  which you mentioned - it looks like
it is close to what you need and there is an example of the
code - look at that - maybe that will serve you.

If it is not clear - let me know.
If you want me to try to play with it - I'd probably need to get some
data - otherwise how would I execute your code?

I included the full code below along with a .las file that is to be open with the code.

Thanks again.

welllog.txt

Renamed welllog.txt to wellog.las
and tried to open (File open) - got: File improperly  formed

Sorry about that.  Just delete the top line from the welllog file.  I meant to take off the headers.

OK, it works now.

Thank you for your help again this works just as I want it to.  I was working on trying to figure out how to get this to work for hours yesterday.    

JFreeChart was definitely the best way to go.  I had some trouble  installing it but after I finally got it installed it was well worth it because the graphs are of excellent quality.  Since, I will continue producing plots it is worth learning how to use JFreeChart.

BTW: The reason I had the series swapped was because  I noticed that the axis were not showing the way I wanted it to until I swapped them in the series.  I don't know if its the correct way to do it though but it since it got me closer to what I was looking to achieve (depth on the vertical axis) I just continued with it that way.  

But it is still seems to be not in the right orienation?
I agree, it is worth reading a bit about their logic - this axis, value axis, all this stuff.
I'm sure if I studied it at some point a little bit I would not have
been wandering around for so long.
I still could not figure out why automatic range still want to include zero, but eventually
understood how to make range non-automatic - that was not immediate either.
So you can just determine min and max, instead of hardcoding it as I did, and use it like that.
Eventually we would probably understand why it wants to go all the wy to zero, even
though the data are in a range between 6900 and 7500.

Yes it's in the right orientation.  The orientation I was trying to avoid was where the depth was on the horizontal axis. Also, I placed a negative value on all the depths to reverse the values so that it as the depth gets higher the well depth gets deeper.

I am still studying the JFreeChart to determine to play around with the settings.  I am writing a similar program that plots as well except this one has two series in one chart.  

I don't understand the autoranges either but I am still trying to figure it out.
