Chart Suggestions

Posted by Matt Gerrans on November 09, 2001 at 12:35 PM

You can download the Java 3D API from Sun (it doesn't come with the SDK by default). However, it is quasi platform-dependent; you need to get it for whatever platforms you are supporting (if it exists for all of them!).

I would think you could make a decent chart with the 2D API (java.awt.Graphics2D), though (even one that looks "3-D").

Finally, you might be able to find a chart component Java bean form already made for you. Sun also has that "Solutions Marketplace" link on their site, which might lead you to some good components (or maybe searching on google would be fruitful).

> I need to create a Ghant chart to display some data(oracle backend) to a client. Any suggestions on how to approach this, sample codes and/or suggestions re: 3d party apps are greatly appreciated. I have been developing applications for some time now, but this is my first Applet UI project. Thanks. Yuri
