Examples to get started

[mork]

Hello,

I'm interested in creating a "simple" (?) X-Y graph with connected line segments for a series of (X,Y) pairs. I would like to have two lines for two different groups of (X,Y) pairs, and a background image "behind" the graph.

Is this doable with JFreeChart? Is this straightforward with JFreeChart?

Does the JFreeChart manual you purchase have a tutorial approach - that is - examples of how to do each graph or does it focus on the API (or both?).

I don't see any (free) examples of how to do a simple graph like the one I want to do.

Thanks in advance for any replies or suggestions.

Maybe you post a simple picture.

I don't see any (free) examples of how to do a simple graph like the one I want to do.

There are three free demos; the majority is in the demo application. Have you checked it?

What I meant by line segments with X.Y pairs was just this: if you have X1, Y1, X2, Y2, ...., then you would have a line graph connecting the Y points (over each X point). I'd like to have two lines.

No, I haven't checked the demo app, I'll do that now.

Thanks.
