RE: Charting/Graphing libraries
The adobe svg 2.0 plugin is going to be delivered on all adobe cd's which have their pdf reader. So this means it will be available on many pc's in the next year. Slowly but surely, we will get more and more support for vector graphics in the browser.

RE: Charting/Graphing libraries
I've had to provide charting ability via servlets. The problem I keep bumping into is that image generation runs in the Event Handler thread, of which there can be only one per VM. I never figured out a way around that bottleneck, and would be thrilled to get some ideas for a solution. Right now, we're using Sitraka (formerly KLGroup) JCharts in servlets. Of all the choices I've seen (excluding some listed in this thread that I haven't evaluated) Sitraka seemed to be the best option, especially considering that something like $7k gets you the source code too. -Chris -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kemp Randy-W18971 Sent: Wednesday, 25 April, 2001 10:27 To: Orion-Interest Subject: RE: Charting/Graphing libraries I am working with a free package now at www.ve.com/kavachart.

RE: Charting/Graphing libraries
JClass Chart and JClass Server Chart are quite usable.

Batik works, but you need a plug-in to interpret the SVG on the client (although you could pass an applet to the client, too). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Tim Burns Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2001 10:36 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: RE: Charting/Graphing libraries Hi, One thing I have read about is Batik http://xml.apache.org/batik/index.html.
