XML data files with JFreeChart

Does anyone have a simple example of using an xml file with data inside, and generating the charts using jfreechart xml api? I have been scratching my head all day long over it to find an easy way to do it.

There are two demos in the distribution: XMLPieChartDemo and XMLBarChartDemo.

Thanks. You might wanna remove the unwanted extra character from the end of the XML file supplied with the example. It causes an exception because the XML file takes an invalid syntax. Otherwise it runs fine.

Thanks. That character is being added by an incorrect usage of the CRLF converter in the Ant script. I've fixed it now.

does the current XML API only read dataset sources? is there another XML API planned to also read chart definitions from XML, e.g. chart type, fonts, colors, labels, ...?

Yes, there are plans for an XML chart definition format. We are going to use this to integrate charts into JFreeReport. Work is just beginning, so I'm not sure how long it will take.
