Logarithmic Chart

[Vivek]

I need a Java based charting libary JFC/Swing (preferably free) which supports
natural logarithmic scales(ln, log e)
on both X & Y axes. I tried many web sites KavaChart, NetChart, JCLass etc.
But nobody seems to be supporting
log e axis (some are supporting log10 but not ln). If anybody come across
such a library please let me know?

As you may or may not remember from your math courses, ln(x) =
ln(10)*log10(x). So converting between log10 and ln is simply multiplying
by a constant. This may provide you with a workaround.

Thanks Paul. But I am not sure whether it will be suitable as the Graph drawn
will not (visually) match the actual
data. It would have been better if I had got a chart which supported natural
logarithmic scales. Maybe I will
try this as the last resort if I cannot get a chart that supports natural
logarithmic scales

Hi,

You may try my MonarchCharts (www.monarch.com) They still do not support
logarithmic scales, but they have notion of AxisMappers. By defining a custom
axis mapper, you will easily get what you want.

Good luck

you might referene JavaPro, September 2000. There was an article for JRuler.
From it,
and the other posts about logarithms, you could place your tick marks appropriately.

The July issue of C/C++ Users Journal, www.cuj.com also had an article on
data based axes
generation that might be helpful.

I have a slightly different problem. I have developed a simple chart and I
am using it inside an applet. I want to save the chart object as a jpg/png
file on the server. Could someone please advise me how to do this? THanks.

Assuming you know how to draw your chart into an offscreen image instead
of a panel,
here's one way to write the image object to a jpg file (where 'tempname'
is the filename).
I used this code using Sun's Java sdk 1.2 and sdk 1.3.

import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.*;
