A Simple Charting Library for Java
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.
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.saveBitmap(chart, "./Sample_Chart", BitmapFormat.PNG);
// or save it in high-res
BitmapEncoder.saveBitmapWithDPI(chart, "./Sample_Chart_300_DPI", BitmapFormat.PNG, 300);
