JFreeChart 1.5.4 API

JFreeChart is a chart library for the Java platform that can generate a wide variety of charts for use in both client and server-side applications. It has built-in support for Swing, plus JavaFX support is provided via an extension library called JFreeChart-FX (https://github.com/jfree/jfreechart-fx). JFreeChart requires Java 8 or later.

The JFreeChart project is hosted at GitHub: https://github.com/jfree/jfreechart.

Here are some sample charts created with JFreeChart and rendered to SVG using JFreeSVG:
