It's a little hard to predict at the moment. I'm experimenting with some options for adding text to the 3D graphics...once I have that working nicely, it shouldn't take too long to get a basic (pie charts and bar charts) JFreeChart3D release done...then refine things from there. I'd hope to do a couple of releases of this before the end of the year, then work towards a stable API version some time in 2008. Sorry that's not very specific...

What's the current state on 3D charting? I was expecting more blurbs on its development progress from time to time. Feed us some candy please

I took a little break from the 3D stuff, but will be doing some more in the next few weeks...I'll post an update as soon as I have something.

That sounds wonderful. I can't wait!

Looks great - although I see this was posted a while ago. Has work been delayed on this are is it still progressing? Anything on the horizon?

Loathed to use some kind of data export to excel etc etc just because we need a surface chart

any news when the first version is coming out ?

I have a busy two months coming up, so I can't promise anything really soon. But it is a priority for me to get JFreeChart3D "out there" during 2008.

Hi develop - I see you were looking into this (http://www.dps.uibk.ac.at/projects/aska ... /#msdchart) on another thread.

I've had a go with it and have had real problems scaling when numbers go negative on surfaces. I'd be interested in discussing further your experiences. PM doesn't seem to work on this board so we'll either have to do on a new thread or swap emails?

Would it be possible to release an alpha version (package or even source code) of the current status of JFreeChart 3D shown in the post with the title "A Glimpse of JFreeChart 3D"?

3D bar chart is an *urgent* need to the *scientific research* task I'm doing now and I'd love to continue with JFreeChart instead of looking for alternatives.

Suddenly, my org has need of 3D charts, ala Excel. I'd really prefer to continue down the road of JFreeChart instead of allowing more options, but we also need to meet the business needs.

If you have an updated idea of when you'll be able to work on it, I'd love to have it.

Thanks!

Has any movement happened on this feature? I can always hope. If not, do you have any appetite for having developers from my company contribute? Otherwise, we're back to purchasing licenses for a commercial package like Quest JClass Charts.

Nothing has happened yet. I almost got onto it, then a couple of consulting assignments got in the way. And I have to get JFreeChart 1.0.13 into shape and released this month.

Just to float an idea, if there was a company (or several) willing to sponsor this work for a couple of months of development time, I'd be happy to prioritise it. But even without sponsoring, this is something that I *want* to do, so keep watching (and feel free to add a list of requirements for the features that need supporting).

Thanks for the response. I assume this means you're not accepting code contributions right now. Money is a little tight for the time being so we're looking for other options that might help move things forward.

Oh, sorry, no - I'm open to contributions. The main requirement for me is that the 3D charts should be implemented using just Java's Graphics2D API (that is, no dependency on OpenGL or something) so that the resulting charts can feed into the same pipelines (SVGGraphics2D, PDFGraphics2D etc.) that existing 2D charts can utilise. This is just for consistency with the existing chart implementation, not because I think OpenGL is a bad idea. That's why I was pursuing the angle of a small 3D engine in pure Java.

Has there been any further progress on the 3D API?

Any word on 3D capability release?
