Java Forum / GUI / March 2004Graph component in Java
Does anyone know of any freely available graph component in Java? I'm thinking of something along the lines of Qwt (http://qwt.sourceforge.net). I'm looking for a component that allows me to plot XY graphs, Line graphs, scatter plots and has the ability to zoom into the graph. I could try implementing my own, but I'd like to try avoid reinventing the wheel. Plus implementing a zoom feature isn't going to be easy. Thanks, Wee-Jin > I could try implementing my own, What?

Try JFreeChart, it does everything you need: http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/index.html > Try JFreeChart, it does everything you need: > http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/index.html Thanks for the suggestion. I had come across JFreeChart before, but being really picky, I was hoping for something more lightweight. The library is fairly huge and provides a lot of features I don't need, but I guess it'll do if I don't want to end up coding it myself. Wee-Jin >>>I could try implementing my own, >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > That gets my vote for worst response ever. (sighs) You are right DH, I am slipping. I forgot to add !JFreeChart+lightwieght+!applet like the OP expected me to add using the psychic powers I possess.. [As an amusing aside, I considered specifically mentioning JFreeChart, but two things stopped me. 1) The OP's qn. had been too lazy to justify it, 2) JFreeChart was the 'ad-sense' ad at the top of the Google results page.. ] This person has wasted the time of two people, three if you're being generous, with their vague, ill thought out question. You and Steve can feel free to propose further solutions to the OP so that he can reject them due to a previously unannounced constraint, I stick by my original answer to the OP. 'Google It!' ..at least until you can figure how to ask a _smart_ question.

The original request was for a component, not an applet. JFreeChart works fine, but ideally it would be light(er)weight. Not rejecting it at all. > This person has wasted the time of two > people, three if you're being generous, with > their vague, ill thought out question. If you don't bother reading the post, of course it will be vague. > 'Google It!' ..at least until you can figure > how to ask a _smart_ question. This coming from somebody who gives _smart_ replies. If you don't want to help, or feel that the OP (that's me) phrased the question in a bad way, just feel free to skip it. This is a newsgroup and you're not obliged to answer and I'm not obliged to get an answer. Instead, you've spent far more time defending your original condescending reply than actually answering the question. >> I forgot to add !JFreeChart+lightwieght+!applet >> like the OP expected me to add using the >> psychic powers I possess.. .... >> 'Google It!' ..at least until you can figure >> how to ask a _smart_ question. > > This coming from somebody who gives _smart_ replies.

Two people suggested a package you had already rejected, but it never occured to you, seemingly, to mention that you had considered the single most recommended package & found it unsuitable for the task. >..or feel that the OP (that's me) phrased the question in a bad > way, just feel free to skip it.

There there. >..Instead, > you've spent far more time defending your original condescending reply > than actually answering the question. And you have spent more time whinging and moaning than you have in giving a precise definition of what you need and what the constraints are. You would currently have a better chance of finding what you want by honing your skills at Googling, than by comments from the members of this group.

I feel obliged here to stick up for the OP. Andrew, if you're going to be incredibly rude to people, it's not reasonable to expect grateful thanks in return. > You would currently have a better chance > of finding what you want by honing your > skills at Googling, than by comments from > the members of this group. I disagree greatly. Google is a great way to get an idea of the options... but once a person has realized that there are a lot of options, a newsgroup provides the ability to get subjective opinions about the options. Very rarely does someone who is a littled annoyed about ease of use of a free library write a web page saying such; but it may well come up in a newsgroup conversation. I'd like to see this forum used for that kind of thing, and I'd like to be free to use this forum for that kind of thing in the future. Yes, the OP could have said that the Google search was done; but it only cost a couple replies before that came out. No one but you seems to mind, and you're free to quit netcopping at any time. I, for one, don't appreciate your hounding of anyone who doesn't phrase their question exactly as you like. Frankly, I feel like I'm still a part of the community here, and it's getting somewhat upsetting to me. So: 1. I fully expect that you'll ignore this response or make some snide comment about why you don't care what I think, but it seems worth saying in any case. 2. I would have responded by email except that you make it rather difficult to do so. Sorry for being overly public. Signaturewww.designacourse.com The Easiest Way to Train Anyone... Anywhere. Chris Smith - Lead Software Developer/Technical Trainer MindIQ Corporation > If you have gained _nothing_ from my replies, > you truly are a lost cause. You're not serious, are you? You actually think your replies were helpful? But I have learnt a lot from these few posts. I've learnt how not to post replies to questions people ask. > And you have spent more time whinging > and moaning than you have in giving a > precise definition of what you need and > what the constraints are. They were right there in the original post. Graph component (not applet or a search engine), XY, Line, scatter plots with zoom capability. There has been no whinging or moaning as you so eloquently put it. JFreeChart fits the bill, which others have suggested. Small components would be nice, but are not a requirement per se. > You would currently have a better chance > of finding what you want by honing your > skills at Googling, than by comments from > the members of this group. I agree. If the general attitude of people is to be elitist and condescending. Good luck in getting your Java FAQ together. With the contempt you show for people, you'll need it. Wee-Jin > What? Searh Engine? No, graph component. > Maybe not.. > <http://www.google.com/search?q=graph+zoom+java> Thank you for the condescending reply. None of them are components. They are applets, and to my knowledge, they do not come with the source code. And they're line graphs. > > Thanks, > > No worries. Thank you for your reply. I think I'll just roll my own, and perhaps put the source somewhere so that when someone else needs something similar, they'd at least be able to find it on Google.
