rfreechart

Description

A simple jruby wrapper around the java library jfreechart. All it does is provide a structured way to require the jar files. The user refers to the java classes as usual (i.e. org.jfree.chart.ChartPanel).

Potentially some utilities to enhance productivity and make it more ruby friendly will be added later as well.

Examples

This is an excerpts of examples/pie_chart_demo_1.rb:

class PieChartDemo1 < ApplicationFrame

  def create_dataset
    dataset = DefaultPieDataset.new
    dataset.setValue("One", 43.2)
    dataset.setValue("Two", 10.0)
    dataset.setValue("Three", 27.5)
    dataset.setValue("Four", 17.5)
    dataset.setValue("Five", 11.0)
    dataset.setValue("Six", 19.4)
    dataset
  end

  def create_chart(dataset)
    chart = ChartFactory.createPieChart(
      "Pie Chart Demo 1",   # chart title
      dataset,              # data
      true,                 # include legend
      true,
      false
    )

    plot = chart.getPlot()
    plot.setSectionOutlinesVisible(false);
    plot.setNoDataMessage("No data available");

    chart
  end

  def create_demo_panel
    chart = create_chart(create_dataset)
    ChartPanel.new(chart)
  end

  def initialize(title)
    super(title)
    setContentPane(create_demo_panel)
  end
end

demo = PieChartDemo1.new("Pie Chart Demo 1")
demo.pack()
RefineryUtilities.centerFrameOnScreen(demo)
demo.setVisible(true)
