Any recommended charting beans for Servoy?

[swingman]

Hi all,

I'm plotting some financial data using the line and area chart beans which come with Servoy, but there does not seem to be any way to fine tune the charts, i.e set fonts, line thickness etc.

Either I need some more advanced beans or some examples of how to customise the existing beans.

Can anyone recommend any beans, which are either opensource or licensable without breaking the bank?

If you look in the Editor and you expand the bean object - you'll see the "JComponent" and that's where the "setFont()" command lives.

As far as setting the line sizes, etc. I didn't see any easy way to do that.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thank you Bob for pointing out where the font setting is. There are so many cryptic settings inside the bean.

Spoke to a Java programmer who says there is an open source library called JFree (or something like that) for doing graphs. I would have to write my own bean/component but I would have full control over the look of the graph... had hoped to avoid doing this

I'm sure you could find some nice open source graph/chart beans from IBM at http://alphaworks.ibm.com/
