Answer

As shown here, use a StandardXYBarPainter to get a flat effect instead of the default gradient.

XYBarRenderer renderer2=new XYBarRenderer(0.20);
renderer2.setBarPainter(new StandardXYBarPainter());
renderer2.setShadowVisible(false); 

I tried, but didn’t work: renderer2.setDefaultBarPainter(new StandardXYBarPainter()).

Note that XYBarRenderer.setDefaultBarPainter() is a static method. It should be called before instantiating the renderer.

XYBarRenderer.setDefaultBarPainter(new StandardXYBarPainter());
XYBarRenderer renderer2=new XYBarRenderer(0.20);

Either formulation produces the desired result:

As an aside, plot.setRangeAxis(1,rangeAxis2) needs to be called only once.
