Groovychart, refactoring and improvements

Keywords: grails groovy charting jfreechart

 Over the past week a side project of mine has required a lot of charting. Therefore, what better library than groovychart? Well problem was that groovy chart was realistically unfinished when it came to dealing with plots and renderers.

Good news is that over the past week, I've gone through many of the areas of groovychart and made it workable for both simple and more complex charting. In particular if you look at the examples now you'll see:

  • Pie charts now properly support making adjustments to the plot
  • XY charts now support adjustments to the plot, renderer and axis objects.
  • Some improvements have been made in to the category based plots
  • Foundations to apply this work to all the other types is now inplace and understood.
  • DSL language improvements to make it easier to set properties on most objects.

Examples of the improved DSL are on the groovychart examples page. You can also download groovychart from the homepage.
