The tutorials using images AND jfreechart are lacking because they assume you can place the image on the page at a given X,Y coordinate.  Most real world layouts will not allow for this, and the graphs should be done “within” the document flow.

 

This is achievable by the following:

 

 

/* inject code as you will */

 

                        ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

                        ChartUtilities.writeChartAsJPEG( bos, chart, 400, 300 );

                       

                        Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();

                        java.awt.Image img = tk.createImage( bos.toByteArray() );

 

/*  we now have a valid image object */

 

/* later on in your code */

 

            Paragraph p = new Paragraph();

            com.lowagie.text.Image itextImg = com.lowagie.text.Image.getInstance( img, offsetX, offsetY );

            p.add( itextImg );

            document.add( p );

 

/* the image should now appear amid the document flow properly without having to resort to X,Y hardcoding */
