Chart Animation

[kds_kuldeep]

Is it possible to have basic animation while loading the charts like slow loading of bars while showing bar charts etc.

We have used Jfreechart in our application and user are now asking for this.Please help.

Also image output of Jfreecharts are not in very rich colors.Is it possible to have more shades in bar color rather then same color bars.

There's no flag you can set to have this happen automatically. JFreeChart will dynamically update the chart as the dataset is changed, though, so if you want to feed the dataset values a little at a time, the chart will be animated.

Coincidentally, I was experimenting yesterday with some gradient and shadow effects on the bar charts. This is what I have so far:



If all goes well, I'll get this incorporated in the 1.0.11 release (which I'm aiming to make in July).
