Data visualization and chart library selection in Java

Hello everyone, I am the editor of Weizhuan Taoke System 3.0, which builds a free coupon checking and rebate robot to save money and earn commissions. I am also a programmer who doesn’t wear thermal underwear in winter and has to be graceful even when it’s cold!

In modern software development, data visualization is the process of converting abstract data into easy-to-understand graphical forms, which can help users understand the patterns and trends of data more intuitively. As a powerful programming language, Java has a variety of excellent chart libraries to choose from in the field of data visualization, which can meet the application of different needs and scenarios.

1. Considerations for chart library selection

Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a charting library in Java:

• Functionality: Whether the chart library supports common chart types (such as line charts, bar charts, pie charts, etc.) and advanced visualization requirements (such as heat maps, radar charts, etc.).
• Performance and efficiency: The performance of the chart library when processing large amounts of data, as well as the efficiency of drawing and updating charts.
• Customization and Scalability: Whether it supports customized chart styles, colors, legends, etc., and whether it is easy to extend to meet specific needs.
• Documentation and community support: The documentation quality and community activity of the chart library, and whether it can provide timely technical support and problem solutions.

2. Commonly used data visualization and charting libraries in Java

In the Java ecosystem, there are several popular data visualization and charting libraries, as follows:

• JFreeChart: It is an open source Java charting library that supports multiple chart types and customization options, suitable for generating static charts.

• JavaFX Charts: With the development of JavaFX, JavaFX includes rich chart support, which can create various dynamic and interactive charts.

• Apache ECharts: Although it is mainly developed for JavaScript, through the integration of Java and JavaScript, Apache ECharts can be used to draw modern interactive charts in Java applications.

• Chart.js (integrated via web framework): Although it is a JavaScript library, it can be integrated with the front-end through a web framework in Java (such as Spring Boot) to achieve flexible data visualization.

Example: Creating a Line Chart Using JavaFX

package cn.juwatech.visualization;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.chart.LineChart;
import javafx.scene.chart.NumberAxis;
import javafx.scene.chart.XYChart;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class JavaFXLineChartExample extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) {
        final NumberAxis xAxis = new NumberAxis();
        final NumberAxis yAxis = new NumberAxis();
        xAxis.setLabel("年份");
        yAxis.setLabel("销售额");

        final LineChart
