Why don't you use JFreeChart??

Take a look at these stuffs

Depends whether you want to generate the graph on the front end or back end.

Personally i prefer front end tools such as: Google graph api - https://developers.google.com/chart/

Check out there quick start page: https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/quick_start

You can output a beautiful graph in minutes.

Personally I prefer XChart. It's both powerful and simple to use. Just have a look at the main page:

The standard java demos folder contains a nice graph demo. See your JDK installation:

.../jdk1.x/demo/applets/SimpleGraph/

Load it via .../demo/applets.html
