I know there are many comparisons of java plotting libraries out there, but I’m not finding what I need. I just want a mind-numbingly simple toolkit that creates images of scatterplots from a set of coordinates. No GUI, no interaction, no fancy display, just a basic XY coordinate system with points.
It wouldn’t be the end of the world to use something that offers a lot more functionality than I need, but I’d rather not. Do you know of anything like what I’m looking for?
Have you looked at JFreeChart? While it can do some very advanced things, it also does the simple as well. Shown below is a screenshot of its scatter plot capability.
