生成时序图：

       JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createTimeSeriesChart(                 String title,    // 图标题                    String timeAxisLabel,   //x 轴标题                    String valueAxisLabel,  //y 轴标题                    XYDataset dataset,       // 数据源                    boolean legend,          // 是否显示图例                    boolean tooltips,        // 是否显示 tooltip                    boolean urls);           // 是否指定 url 

时序图的 Plot 对象是 XYPlot 类型。 XYPlot 对象的 x 轴是 DateAxis 对象， y 轴是 NumberAxis 对象，绘制单元是 XYLineAndShapeRenderer 对象，数据源是 XYDataset 对象。

//Plot 对象的获取操作：   XYPlot plot = (XYPlot) chart.getPlot();   //X 轴对象的获取操作：   DateAxis xAxis = (DateAxis) plot.getDomainAxis();   //Y 轴对象的获取操作：   NumberAxis yAxis =(NumberAxis) plot.getRangeAxis();   //Renderer 对象的获取操作：   XYItemRenderer renderer= plot.getRenderer(); 

时序图可以接受一切 XYDataset 类型的数据源，下面讲解一下常用的 XYDataset 类型 TimeSeriesCollection 的使用方式。

//实例化：   TimeSeriesCollection dataset=new TimeSeriesCollection();   //添加数据操作：   dataset. addSeries(TimeSeries); // 后面讲解 TimeSeries 对象   //删除数据操作：   dataset. removeSeries(int index);   //查询数据操作 :   dataset. getSeries(int series); 

TimeSeries 对象操作

//实例化：   TimeSeries ts=TimeSeries(String name, Class timePeriodClass);   //增加数据操作：   ts. add(RegularTimePeriod period, double value);    //删除数据操作：   ts. delete(RegularTimePeriod period);      //修改数据操作：   ts. update(RegularTimePeriod period, Number value);   //查询数据操作：   ts. getValue(RegularTimePeriod period); 

类 RegularTimePeriod 是 JFreeChart 提供的时间模板类，它有很多具体的时间类，比如： Minute 、 Second 、 Hour 、 Day…… 等，不再详述
