Yes, yes, thanks very much Virgil.
I have looked at lots of these and jcharts is the one I am going to try
first. I love the trinidad stuff Jacques, but it will take a very long
while to get it all integrated. It also does charting in SVG which does not
have universal support.
On the other hand, trinidad has LOTS of other features beyond charting and
once I get some time, I am going to explore it more fully (cool tables
anyone?).
One of the reasons I like jCharts is that it streams the chart directly to
the browser. No need to write an intermediate .png or .jpeg file. On the
other hand, this has not seen much activity for a while, so maybe it is not
so good. We'll see.
Here is the jChart license text. I am not a licensing expert, so can anyone
see any reason why works based on it could not be committed to the Ofbiz
project:

Thanks Virgil,
Skip, I'm not sure there is all you need but Trinidad demo looks great :
http://www.irian.at/trinidad-demo/faces/components/chart.jspx and it's an
Apache project. I don' t know how it's organised but we
may embed it in OFBiz if using only some jars is possible.
http://www.liquidx.net/plotkit/ is less appealing IMHO
I did not found any example for jCharts
