XChart

A Simple Charting Library for Java

Description

XChart is a light-weight and convenient library for plotting data.

Its focus is on simplicity and ease-of-use, requiring only two lines of code to save or display a basic default chart.

Usage is very simple: Create a Chart instance, add a series of data to it, and either save it or display it.

Example

double[] xData = new double[] { 0.0, 1.0, 2.0 };
double[] yData = new double[] { 2.0, 1.0, 0.0 };

// Create Chart
Chart chart = QuickChart.getChart("Sample Chart", "X", "Y", "y(x)", xData, yData);

// Show it
new SwingWrapper(chart).displayChart();

// Save it
BitmapEncoder.savePNG(chart, "./Sample_Chart.png");

Now go ahead and study some more examples, download the thing and provide feedback.
