Create Fatter Candlesticks in JFreeChart - jfreechart

Question

I'm developing an app that displays daily financial data, and have chosen to use JFreeChart. I was able to learn how to create a candlestick chart, but my problem lies in customization.
You see, what I'm aiming for is more along the lines of
While, so far all I've been able to manage is
.
No matter how far I zoom in, the candlesticks do not increase in width.
I'm fairly certain that somehow the thin candlesticks have something to do with being bound to a certain time range.. I've tried to remedy that but am not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
SSCE
public void showStockHistory(OHLCDataset dataset, String stockName) {
JFreeChart candleChart = ChartFactory.createCandlestickChart("History of " + stockName, "Date", "Stock Points", dataset, true);
XYPlot plot = candleChart.getXYPlot();
plot.setDomainPannable(true);
plot.setRangePannable(true);
ValueAxis domain = plot.getDomainAxis();
domain.setAutoRange(true);
NumberAxis range = (NumberAxis)plot.getRangeAxis();
range.setUpperMargin(0.0D);
range.setLowerMargin(0.0D);
range.setAutoRange(true);
range.setAutoRangeIncludesZero(false);
ChartPanel chartPanel = new ChartPanel(candleChart);
chartPanel.setMouseWheelEnabled(true);
chartPanel.setMouseZoomable(true);
getViewport().add(chartPanel);
}

Although my given example seems to have to no differing method calls from the demo in the first picture's code above, it nevertheless only shows thin candlesticks. I assume this to be some kind of bug.
However, I was able to rectify the issue as follows:
getting the renderer for the chart,
casting it to a type of CandlestickRenderer, and
setting its setAutoWidthMethod() method to CandlestickRenderer.WIDTHMETHOD_SMALLEST.
This is how you do it:
JFreeChart candleChart = ChartFactory.createCandlestickChart(
"History of " + stockName, "Date", "Stock Points", dataset, true);
XYPlot plot = candleChart.getXYPlot();
CandlestickRenderer renderer = (CandlestickRenderer) plot.getRenderer();
renderer.setAutoWidthMethod(CandlestickRenderer.WIDTHMETHOD_SMALLEST);
