Need some direction in JFreeChart.

[YJ]

Hi all,

I'm totally new to this JFreeChart and not really sure of it's application. Wondering whether can I implement it into a Java program?
Can someone direct me to where I can find out more about how to use this cause I am hoping to integrate it into an existing Java program to make it draw graphs for me.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers!
YJ

Hi YJ,

I would encourage you to purchase a copy of the JFreeChart documentation...there's a link at the top right of this page. It contains lots of useful information, and the income this generates is used to support the project.

Apart from that, running the demonstration application is a good place to start. There are instructions in the README file and also in the jfreechart-install.pdf document (which you can download for free from the JFreeChart home page).

After you have run the main demo application, there are a number of other sample programs in the com.jrefinery.chart.demo package. Take a look at those.

The Javadoc HTML files are mostly up to date, so they are worth looking at also. If you find anything out of date or misleading or unclear, let me know so that I can fix the problem.

Finally, if you get stuck on anything, you can ask questions in this forum (do a quick search through the old messages first to see if your question is already answered).

I hope you find JFreeChart useful for your application...

Regards,

Dave Gilbert
