JFreeChart tutorial

[Johnny]

I am new here. Anyone can tell me where I can find a JFreeChart tutorial?

Thanks a lot

There is a PDF document that contains examples, tutorials and reference information for JFreeChart...I charge US$30 per (electronic) copy, including access to updates for 12 months. There is a link at the top right of this page if you would like to purchase a copy. So far this initiative has been well supported, and it is allowing me to spend 1-2 days per week of my "non-free" time working on JFreeChart (of course I also spend a fair amount of my "free" time working on JFreeChart too!). Who knows, eventually I might be able to make a full time job out of writing free software.

If you can't (or won't) pay for the documentation, there are some other (free) sources of information:

- the JFreeChart installation documentation: a free download, this is the first few chapters of the "premium" documentation and should be enough to get you up and running;
- the Javadoc HTML files: available on-line or you can regenerate them directly from the source code;
- the source code: there are lots of demo applications in the com.jrefinery.chart.demo package, and it never hurts to read the source code for the other classes too;
- this forum: contains answers to many common questions (use the search option);
