JFreeChart Gantt display subtasks' overlapping

I need to visualize overlapping of subtasks. In my case, a task is one person1, and subtasks of each task have descriptions "SignIn", "SignOut", "Click" (short-duration tasks), "Call" (long-duration task). What I want is to be able to: 1. See the overlap of 2 calls and see overlap of shortTasks and longTasks. Something similar to this enter image description here

My thoughts:

I've followed this Changing saturation of subtasks, changing transparency in getItemPaint

Color rbg = clut.get(clutIndex);
return new Color(rbg.getRed(), rbg.getGreen(), rbg.getBlue(), 150);

but it's not exactly what I'm looking for, since the overlapped areas are not demonstrated.

private @NotNull IntervalCategoryDataset createDataset() {

    final TaskSeries s1 = new TaskSeries("Scheduled");
    Task person1 = new Task("Person1",
            new SimpleTimePeriod(date(1, Calendar.APRIL, 2001),
                    date(30, Calendar.APRIL, 2001)));

    // Subtasks
    Task subTask1 = new Task("SignIn",
            new SimpleTimePeriod(date(1, Calendar.APRIL, 2001),
                    date(2, Calendar.APRIL, 2001))); // no overlap
    Task subTask2 = new Task("Call1",
            new SimpleTimePeriod(date(5, Calendar.APRIL, 2001),
                    date(20, Calendar.APRIL, 2001))); // day 5 - 20
    Task subTask3 = new Task("Click",
            new SimpleTimePeriod(date(16, Calendar.APRIL, 2001),
                    date(17, Calendar.APRIL, 2001))); // overlap with call1 and call2
    Task subTask4 = new Task("Call2",
            new SimpleTimePeriod(date(15, Calendar.APRIL, 2001),
                    date(30, Calendar.APRIL, 2001))); // day 15 - 30

    person1.addSubtask(subTask1);
    person1.addSubtask(subTask2);
    person1.addSubtask(subTask3);
    person1.addSubtask(subTask4);
    s1.add(person1);
    final TaskSeriesCollection collection = new TaskSeriesCollection();
    collection.add(s1);

    return collection;
}

Overlap demo

How to code using my approach or is there any better approaches to achieve this? Thank you!

While GanttRenderer doesn't support AlphaComposite directly, you can adjust the hue, saturation and brightness; saturation is shown here, but ⍺ < 1 may be worth exploring. You can set the mode in your implementation of drawItem(); Xor is pictured. Use the AlphaCompositeDemo cited here to find the desired mode and colors.

private static class MyRenderer extends GanttRenderer {
…
    @Override
    public void drawItem(Graphics2D g2, CategoryItemRendererState state, Rectangle2D dataArea, CategoryPlot plot, CategoryAxis domainAxis, ValueAxis rangeAxis, CategoryDataset dataset, int row, int column, int pass) {
        g2.setComposite(AlphaComposite.Xor);
        super.drawItem(g2, state, dataArea, plot, domainAxis, rangeAxis, dataset, row, column, pass);
    }
}
