Thank you

1It's huge and it may be overdimensionend for some use cases. (Note: I don't like JFreeChart, but I agree that it has many powerful features to offer. So if you have some highly sophisticated charts to create, then it's probably a good choice. But I don't know why I should use a 1.4 Mb(*) library for displaying some smaller bar/line charts with NO extraordinary requirements). * mvnrepository.com/artifact/jfree/jfreechart/1.0.13 (size taken from here)Andreas Aumayr– Andreas Aumayr2013-12-13 09:27:30 +00:00Commented Dec 13, 2013 at 9:27

Take a look at these stuffs

Depends whether you want to generate the graph on the front end or back end.
Personally i prefer front end tools such as: Google graph api - https://developers.google.com/chart/
Check out there quick start page: https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/quick_start
You can output a beautiful graph in minutes.

Personally I prefer XChart. It's both powerful and simple to use. Just have a look at the main page:
The license is Apache 2.0 and you can find the source code on github:

The standard java demos folder contains a nice graph demo. See your JDK installation:
.../jdk1.x/demo/applets/SimpleGraph/
Load it via .../demo/applets.html
