  • a flexible design that is easy to extend, and targets both server-side and client-side applications;
  • support for many output types, including Swing components, image files (including PNG and JPEG), and vector graphics file formats (including PDF, EPS and SVG);
  • JFreeChart is “open source” or, more specifically, free software. It is distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public Licence (LGPL), which permits use in proprietary applications.



The JFreeChart project was founded eight years ago, in February 2000, by David Gilbert. Today, JFreeChart is used by approximately 40,000 to 50,000 developers (see a list of some of the products and projects that use JFreeChart). The project continues to be managed by Mr Gilbert, with contributions from a diverse community of developers. If you are interested in joining the project, please see the Developers page.
