JFreeChart-like in Delphi

Hi! I have worked with JFreeChart in a few Java projects. I wonder if there is something similar I can use in Delphi for Win32 or if you know about a nice free chart library for Delphi. I'm working with Delphi 2006. I know there is already TChart but it looks a bit "old". My researchs bring me to TMS Advanced Charts but it's too expensive for me.

Thanks.

  • Maybe you can find some useful here http://www.torry.net/pages.php?id=195

    Averroes : Thanks for the link, Cesar. I think I'm going to check RiverSoftAVG: http://www.riversoftavg.com/charting.htm
  • You can always build a Delphi wrapper for the Google Chart API. Many such wrappers exist in other languages.

    Averroes : Nice idea. Maybe not for this project but I'll see if I can do that in Delphi. Thanks.
  • I don't know jfreechart, so I can't say whether there are similarities between it and my free dzchart component:

    Please be advised that I don't maintain it any more, so you are on your own.

    Averroes : Thanks. I'm going to check it out.
  • Unless you've already plumbed the depths of TChart I would suggest digging a little deeper. I've found that with a little bit of styling you can get rid of that "old" look. The default settings do look a little dated, but there's quite a bit of configurability there. Maybe it would be worth exploring the TChart help docs and experimenting a little bit more if you haven't already.

    Averroes : I will look if I can change its look then. Thanks.
