true 3d charts (3 axis)

[Mark Smith]

Hi,

I must say that I am a huge JFreeChart fan. Very clean API, easy to use, and great performance (much faster than some of the other open-source and commercial charting packages I've used!).

I do have one question, however. For my project, I have the need to display three variables in a chart (i.e. 3 axis). This means I need something that supports a true 3d chart. Take a look at the following package's "3d Bar Chart" and "3d Column Chart":

All of the 3d charts in JFreeChart are 3d effects, not representations of 3 axis data. How hard is it to add this functionality into JFreeChart? I'm willing to do it myself if someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Mark,

I'm never really sure how hard something is to implement until I get started on it. I've held off doing 3D charts so far, because I want to make sure the 2D charts really work well before starting something else major. Eventually I will have a go at it though (unless you get something finished before then!).

Regards,

DG.
