Charts/Graphs in Java

[wantedSpidy]

Hi,

I was wondering if any of you have had any experience with charting or graphing stuff in Java? I've been looking at JFreeChart, and their API looks good. But I'm unaware of stuff like refresh rates or other things that might be relevant to a project of this nature.

The project is basic: I have to visualize the status of an internal system. The data will be provided to me through web services.

If you guys know of any resources, or just any topics that I should read up on, I'd love to hear about them.

Thanks

I would just go for a google of "Java charts" (or graphs) and choose the one that does what you want. You shouldn't have to care about things like refresh rates ect in this sort of a situation. (Rendering charts is not very intensive, especially with today's CPUs).

I have experience with jgraph. It's old, but powerful. Its basically like using a pencil to paint your house for a lot applications, but if you need to control EVERYTHING, you can. Otherwise, avoid it.

EDIT: It suddenly occurs to me that 'jgraph' probably isn't what you were after with 'Charts/Graphs in Java'. My bad.
