Personally, I've used Chart2D and jFreeChart, both licenced under the
LGPL. I like jFreeChart more, because of it's options. It's also much
bigger (more than three megs instead of little over half a meg).
Chart2D charts are a subclass of javax.swing.JComponent, and as such
require extra helpp to be converted to an image. Also, remember to start
java headless if there's no GUI available.
jFreeChart has a seperate subclass of javax.swing.JPanel to easily display
charts, and also a utility class that converts a chart into a PNG or JPG
image.
