I have been trying to figure out how to get the chart themes to work and having no success. I have done just about everything I can think of but getting nowhere. I've even tried using the sample in the download, taken the EyeCandySixties.java file, copied it and renamed it, compiled the code, added the jar to the iReport classpath and still don't see it in the Themes drop down? Does anyone have any suggestions? In particular I'm trying to use the Spring-based implementation from the following site: http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/sample.reference/chartthemes/index.html What I need to do is have the theme create an OVERLAID chart using the same axis, so I can't even use the multi-axis chart that iReport has. I'm new to Java, so am having real difficulty trying to follow everything, determine what's needed and what's not. If anyone has a step by step example, I would LOVE it. Even if it's not the Spring-based implementation - at this point, I'll take anything. LOL Thanks in advance! Leisa
