Does Jfree chart support these features

Post by afar » Mon Apr 08, 2002 7:39 am

Hi
can anybody tell me whether jfree chart supports these features
2D Bar Chart -- Vertical and horizontal
Automatic Line Smoothing
Drag-n-drop -- from our app
Crosshair -- on/off per axis
Legend -- on off and movable within the chart
Auto-sizing -- adjusting Axis labels and tickmark, etc..
Split Display -- Top half QOS-- bottom half Volume...
each half has it's own Y-Axis...
both share the same X-Axis located on bottom, top, or between the 2 halves...
Movable divider bar between the two.

Background image
Grid lines
Delete data series by clicking and hitting delete button
Multi-level Zoom in/out-- Zoom in by selection rectangle, Zoom out by keyPress
Panning (left-right scrolling) -- Click-n-drag


Printing
Drag-n-drop -- Between charts
All elements are User configurable -- Background image, Font size, color... Axis color, thickness, position etc...

Hi Afar,

The demonstration application is intended to give a good overview of what JFreeChart can do, so I would recommend that you run it.

Here is my quick assessment of your list:
> 2D Bar Chart -- Vertical and horizontal

YES

> Automatic Line Smoothing

YES

> Drag-n-drop -- from our app

NO

> Crosshair -- on/off per axis

YES

> Legend -- on off and movable within the chart

YES

> Auto-sizing -- adjusting Axis labels and tickmark, etc..

YES

> Split Display -- Top half QOS-- bottom half Volume...
> each half has it's own Y-Axis...
> both share the same X-Axis located on bottom, top, or
> between the 2 halves...

YES (except x-axis is fixed at the bottom only)

> Movable divider bar between the two.

NO

> Background image

YES

> Grid lines

YES

> Delete data series by clicking and hitting delete button

NO

> Multi-level Zoom in/out-- Zoom in by selection rectangle,
> Zoom out by keyPress

ZOOM by popup menu

> Panning (left-right scrolling) -- Click-n-drag

NO

> Printing

Via Graphics2D

> Drag-n-drop -- Between charts

NO

> All elements are User configurable -- Background image, Font

All configurable by the developer. The end-user can change chart properties via a popup menu, but the property editors have lagged behind the development of new features in JFreeChart.

Hope this helps,
