The following is working in my report to hide the first legend item. However, I want to hide the second. Logic says to pass index 1 instead of 0, but this doesn't work. What am I missing?

```auto
xyplot = chart.plot
xyplot.getRenderer().setSeriesVisibleInLegend(0, False) # this works

```

```auto
xyplot = chart.plot
xyplot.getRenderer().setSeriesVisibleInLegend(1, False) # this does nothing

```

For now, I've set the pens so the one I want to hide is first. This works but is not a solution. If anyone has any insight on this please let me know!

You probably want to use [.getRenderer(int)](https://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/api/javadoc/org/jfree/chart/plot/XYPlot.html#getRenderer-int-), not plain `.getRenderer()`.
