SWTChart is a chart component which has following basic functionalities:

• line chart
• scatter chart
• stack chart
• log scale
• category axis
• multiple axes
• bar chart
• area chart
• step chart
• axis orientation
• series label

All of widgets in SWTChart are composed of SWT, so that you can easily hock listeners to widgets, and also you can easily extend the functionality without expertise of AWT.

SWTChart provides an ability to handle large data size of series. Even if showing 1,000,000 data points, repainting or resizing chart panel doesn’t take long time. The internal algorithm is not to simply sample the data with a certain interval but to thin out only the data which doesn’t make sense to show in current screen resolution. Therefore, even if there are prominent peaks in large data points, the peaks won’t be lost in the screen.

SWTChart has minimum basic functionalities. SWTChart doesn’t have any dependencies other than SWT, and even JFace is not required.
