JFreeChart is a framework for the Java programming language with which complex diagrams can be created in a simple way .

history
The JFreeChart project was started in 2000 by David Gilbert and is also led by him. But other developers have also made smaller contributions. The project is mainly financially supported by Object Refinery Limited, David Gilbert's company, which sells documentation and consulting related to JFreeChart to other companies. This means that the official website only lists the raw Javadocs and a few screenshots, and not easy-to-use code samples that are only delivered to paying customers.
