Hi,

Does anybody know, how to create image with transparent background using JFreeChart. Does JFreeChart support such feature.
Thanks,

Hi,

From memory (sorry, don't have the source code handy right now) JFreeChart blanks out the background before drawing the chart. I don't think it would be difficult to make this optional.

When you refer to an image, do you mean actually converting to a format like PNG? In that case, I guess the transparency would be a function of the encoder...

Regards,

DG.
