生成時序圖：

       JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createTimeSeriesChart( 
              String title,    // 圖示題 
                 String timeAxisLabel,   //x 軸標題 
                 String valueAxisLabel,  //y 軸標題 
                 XYDataset dataset,       // 資料來源 
                 boolean legend,          // 是否顯示圖例 
                 boolean tooltips,        // 是否顯示 tooltip 
                 boolean urls);           // 是否指定 url 
 

時序圖的 Plot 物件是 XYPlot 型別。 XYPlot 物件的 x 軸是 DateAxis 物件， y 軸是 NumberAxis 物件，繪製單元是 XYLineAndShapeRenderer 物件，資料來源是 XYDataset 物件。

//Plot 物件的獲取操作： 
XYPlot plot = (XYPlot) chart.getPlot(); 
//X 軸物件的獲取操作： 
DateAxis xAxis = (DateAxis) plot.getDomainAxis(); 
//Y 軸物件的獲取操作： 
NumberAxis yAxis =(NumberAxis) plot.getRangeAxis(); 
//Renderer 物件的獲取操作： 
XYItemRenderer renderer= plot.getRenderer(); 
 

時序圖可以接受一切 XYDataset 型別的資料來源，下面講解一下常用的 XYDataset 型別 TimeSeriesCollection 的使用方式。

//例項化： 
TimeSeriesCollection dataset=new TimeSeriesCollection(); 
//新增資料操作： 
dataset. addSeries(TimeSeries); // 後面講解 TimeSeries 物件 
//刪除資料操作： 
dataset. removeSeries(int index); 
//查詢資料操作 : 
dataset. getSeries(int series); 

TimeSeries 物件操作

//例項化： 
TimeSeries ts=TimeSeries(String name, Class timePeriodClass); 
//增加資料操作： 
ts. add(RegularTimePeriod period, double value);  
//刪除資料操作： 
ts. delete(RegularTimePeriod period);    
//修改資料操作： 
ts. update(RegularTimePeriod period, Number value); 
//查詢資料操作： 
ts. getValue(RegularTimePeriod period); 

類 RegularTimePeriod 是 JFreeChart 提供的時間模板類，它有很多具體的時間類，比如： Minute 、 Second 、 Hour 、 Day…… 等，不再詳述
