We are going to add a 3D chart to our project that will graph 3D data points and hopefully the calculated sphere of best fit. We are looking for one that is compatible with Swing (i.e., we can add it to a Jpanel), can plot a collection of X,Y,Z points, and allows the user to rotate the chart.
It would be nice to have the ability to plot a sphere or an ellipsoid. It would also be great to have 3D acceleration. And a library that has high performance when plotting points in real time would be optimal.
Right now, we’re thinking Jzy3D. Or JMathPlot, which works very well, but seems to use pseudo-3D.
Libraries that aren’t acceptable (thus far): those without 3D points (JFreeChart, JChart2D).
To have Jzy3d working with NetBeans, you have to instanciate a Swing chart, as explained here:
Is it possible to use Jzy3D in a Netbeans 7.0 application?
Cheers,
