how to add 3 legend for a single series barchart?? JAVAFX

Question

Here is my code to generate 10 bars of different colors. I want to add legend respectively but it only shows yellow legend i can change its color but i want 3 legend.

I think it shows only 1 color because there is only 1 series. Is it possible to add more than 1 legend for a single series?

output:

or if i can add this image as legend to the middle left of my chart

i need how to display image in bar chart or how to create 3 different labels for a single series bar chart

        yAxis.setLabel("Value");

        final BarChart<String, Number> bc = new BarChart<>(xAxis, yAxis);
        bc.setLegendVisible(false);

        XYChart.Series series1 = new XYChart.Series();

        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            // change color of bar if value of i is >5 than red if i>8 than blue
            final XYChart.Data<String, Number> data = new XYChart.Data("Value " + i, i);
            data.nodeProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Node>() {

and is possible to attach an image on left of bar chart which shows legends?? – Linnie

Answer 1

To put an image to the left you can just add image and chart to HBox:

 HBox root = new HBox(5);
 root.getChildren().addAll(image, bc);
 stage.setScene(new Scene(root));
