JFreeChart

==========

Version 1.5.0, 5 November 2017.

[![Maven Central](https://maven-badges.herokuapp.com/maven-central/org.jfree/jfreechart/badge.svg)](https://maven-badges.herokuapp.com/maven-central/org.jfree/jfreechart)

Overview

--------

JFreeChart is a comprehensive free chart library for the Java(tm) platform that 

can be used on the client-side (JavaFX and Swing) or the server side (with

export to multiple formats including SVG, PNG and PDF).

![JFreeChart sample](http://jfree.org/jfreechart/images/coffee_prices.png)

The home page for the project is:

http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart

JFreeChart requires JDK 1.6.0 or later.  If JavaFX support is required, you

need to also include the JFreeChart-FX extensions:

https://github.com/jfree/jfreechart-fx

The library is licensed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public 

License (LGPL) version 2.1 or later.

Using JFreeChart

----------------

To use JFreeChart in your projects, add the following dependency to your build tool:

    <dependency>

        <groupId>org.jfree</groupId>

        <artifactId>jfreechart</artifactId>

        <version>1.5.0</version>

    </dependency>

Building JFreeChart

You can build JFreeChart using Maven by issuing the following command from the root directory of the project:

    mvn clean install

The build requires JDK 1.6.0 or later.

Migration from JFreeChart 1.0.x

-------------------------------

When migrating from JFreeChart 1.0.x to JFreeChart 1.5.0, please be aware of the following API changes:

* all the classes from JCommon that are used by JFreeChart have integrated within the JFreeChart jar file within a different package than before (you will need to change your imports);

* many methods `getBaseXXX()/setBaseXXX()` have been renamed `setDefaultXXX()/getDefaultXXX()`;

* the `ChartUtilities` class has been renamed `ChartUtils`;

* all the classes relating to pseudo-3D charts have been removed, as much better 3D charts are offered by [Orson Charts](https://github.com/jfree/orson-charts) so we prefer not to maintain the pseudo-3D chart code within JFreeChart;

* the `SegmentedTimeline` class has been removed due to being (a) complex, (b) not always being correct and, as a result, generating too many support requests;

* the `org.jfree.chart.utils.ParamChecks` class has been renamed `org.jfree.chart.utils.Args`.

Please refer to [Issue 66](https://github.com/jfree/jfreechart/issues/66) for additional info.

##### Version 1.0.13 (17-Apr-2009)

> SPECIAL NOTICE:  There will be a birds-of-a-feather session for JFreeChart at this year's JavaOne conference in San Francisco.  The session is scheduled for 6.45pm to 7.35pm on Wednesday 3 June.                        

This release contains:

- updates to the `ChartPanel` class to support copying charts to the clipboard, 

  panning and mouse-wheel zooming, and an overlay mechanism that supports

  crosshairs;

- enhancements to the auto-range calculation for axes, providing the ability

  to use subranges only and also to skip hidden series;

- updates for many of the `CategoryItemRenderer` implementations to ensure that

  they respect the `seriesVisible` flags;

- an improvement to the `TimeSeries` class so that it is no longer necessary to

  specify the time period type in the constructor;

- a new `SamplingXYLineRenderer` for improving the performance of time series

  charts with large datasets;

- the `XYSeries/XYSeriesCollection` classes now cache the minimum and maximum

  data values to improve the performance of charts with large datasets;

- entities are now created for the chart, data area and axes, allowing mouse

  clicks to be detected for these regions;

- added a bar alignment factor to the `XYBarRenderer` class;

- a new `errorIndicatorStroke` field for the `StatisticalLineAndShapeRenderer` and `XYErrorRenderer` classes;

- added a new `HeatMapDataset` interface, `DefaultHeatMapDataset` implementation,

  and a `HeatMapUtilities` class to make it easier to create heat map charts;

- there is a new flag to allow an `XYDataImageAnnotation` to be included in the

  automatic range calculation for the axes;

- additional attributes in the `XYTextAnnotation` class;

- added a `sampleFunction2DToSeries()` method to the `DatasetUtilities` class;

- some changes to the `ChartPanel` class that help to work around a regression in

  JRE 1.6.0_10 relating to drawing in XOR mode.  Regarding this final point:

     * the default value for the `useBuffer` flag has changed to true, which means

       that all charts will, by default, be rendered into an off-screen image

       before being displayed in the `ChartPanel`;

     * the zoom rectangle is drawn using XOR mode *only* when the `useBuffer`

       flag has been set to false.

  For most usage, this should improve performance (but at the cost of using more

  memory for each `ChartPanel` used in your application);

###### Bug Fixes

- 2690293 : Problem with Javascript escape characters;

- 2617557 : `StandardDialScale` ignored `tickLabelPaint`;

- 2612649 : `Stroke` selection in plot property editor;

- 2583891 : `SWTGraphics2D.fillPolygon()` not implemented;

- 2564636 : `Month` constructor ignores Locale;

- 2502355 : `ChartPanel` sending multiple events;

- 2490803 : `PeriodAxis.setRange()` method doesn't take into account that the axis

          displays whole periods;

In addition, a bug in the `SlidingCategoryDataset` class has been fixed, the

correct outline paint is now used by `GradientXYBarPainter`, a new method

has been added to the `ImageMapUtilities` class to escape special characters

in Javascript strings to avoid problems with the OverLIB and DynamicDrive

tooltips, and there are some important fixes in the `LogAxis` class.

This release passes 2110 JUnit tests (0 failures) on JRE 1.6.0_12.

##### Version 1.0.12 (31-Dec-2008)

feedback on.  Hopefully in the future, refined versions of these classes will

be incorporated into the main library.  PLEASE NOTE THAT THE API FOR THESE

CLASSES IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. 

##### Version 1.0.1 (27-Jan-2006)

This is primarily a bug fix release.  In addition, there are some API 

adjustments (there should be no breakage of applications coded to the 1.0.0 API).

    methods, that controls whether or not the base value for the bar is 

    included in the range calculated by the `findRangeBounds()` method;

  bounds, so you can safely delete any calls to the `setDomainIsPointsInTime()`

  method;

- `XYSeries`: the `update(int, Number)` method has been deprecated and a new 

  method `updateByIndex(int, Number)` has been added;
