How much prettier over 1.0.1

[DavidThi808]

Hi;

We are very happy with 1.0.1 in terms of functionality. However, we do get questions at times about can we make our charts a bit prettier. Does the latest version render prettier? (I know that's a subjective question.) I ask because switching to the new version is a serious time hit for us (we have to port it to J# also).

thanks - dave

I've put some effort into improving both the interactivity and appearance of the charts, and you can see some of that work in JFreeChart 1.0.13. There was some discussion in a blog entry I posted a while back:

I don't know what you should do.

Your blog makes a good point - it can do more than the defaults but everyone lives with the defaults. I'll try to cobble something together to just build some charts under the new defaults and see how they look.

thanks - dave

ps - Did you every add that code I offered so you can create defaults in an XML file? I think that would make it a lot faster to create better defaults.
