Eclipse SWTChart

SWTChart is a powerful library to create charts and display data using SWT. It can be easily used in Java desktop applications. Only a few lines of code are necessary to create interactive and feature rich charts:

public class MyChart extends MassSpectrumChart {
 
	public MyChart(Composite parent) {
		super(parent, SWT.NONE);
		initialize();
	}
 
	private void initialize() {
 
		IChartSettings chartSettings = getChartSettings();
		chartSettings.setCreateMenu(true);
		applySettings(chartSettings);
		//
		List<IBarSeriesData> barSeriesDataList = new ArrayList<IBarSeriesData>();
		IBarSeriesData barSeriesData = new BarSeriesData(SeriesConverter.getSeriesXY(SeriesConverter.BAR_SERIES_1));
		barSeriesDataList.add(barSeriesData);
		//
		addSeriesData(barSeriesDataList);
	}
}

The source code is located here and can easily be cloned: https://github.com/eclipse/swtchart/
If you are interested in one of the topics you have to apply on the mailing list.

Topic: Support for Radar- and Spider Charts

SWTChart currently supports line-, scatter- and bar charts. Single and multiLevel pie charts have been added as a Google Summer of Code project in 2020. A nice enhancement would be to support also radar as well as spider charts:
