how to put JFreeChart INSIDE a JFrame?

[theAnonymous]

right now, i only know how to the JFreeChart uses the whole JFrame to display the chart(s).

is there a way to put it inside a JFrame (or JPanel, or whatever) so that my controls for the JFrame will still be there?

to clarify, i have a few controllers for the chart... JTextField, JCheckBox, etc.. but after drawing the JFreeChart, they disappear. how do i prevent that?

thanks.

the above program will show you a jframe with jbutton ,jpanel(with jtextfield,jcheckbox)
i am not sure if you wanted something like this or somehing alse.
