Came across a use case where one dataset has to be compared against a set of other datasets.
A simple example is to compare salary against the sum of tax, rent, car and other expenses. An obvious choice is to display salary as a bar and other expenses in a stacked area so that we can easily check which dataset value is higher.
Used JFreeChart library to create the chart and iText to create the PDF. There is a limited support to create charts in Java. JFreeChart is the only popular library available. It has various examples but this particular example is not covered anywhere.

Here is the final chart shown in the PDF. It is generated using a BarRenderer and multiple AreaRenderers.
Here is the source code for download.
