Hi Luke, I used JFreeChart for lots of scientific visualization and i still use it now because it's simple and efficient enough to make quite complex graphs. U should see the main class in the Api doc named ChartFactory which provides static methods to build all kind of charts; Then put that chart in a ChartPanel which is a.... JPanel
