    <p>I am writing a scientific experiment control program in java which includes a GUI.</p> <p>I help choosing a charting library for this task. The program will contain two types of charts:</p> <ol> <li><p>A line chart with a lot of data points (in the range of 10^4-10^5 points per plot) with a refresh rate of about once every 0.5-1 seconds, so performance is a factor. This chart will have to include to sets of data points with different scaling.</p></li> <li><p>A scatter chart without many data points which must include error-bars, or some way of indicating the error in the points. Preferably both on the X and Y axis, in crosshair style for example.</p></li> </ol> <p>Logarithmic scale is also a must and a good zoom tool and export tool would also be nice. I would prefer a solution for both charts with a single package of possible.</p> <p>From the research I have done a nearly perfect option seems to be javaFX 2.0. From what I read, it has good performance and also looks great, but I can't seem to find an option for error-bars. Since I don't know javaFX at all, how simple is it to extend the charting library to include error bars, or is there an open source add on that includes this that I didn't find?</p> <p>Another option is the Google charting library, which seems to have all the necessary features, however I am afraid that the refresh rate will be a problem in the first chart type. Is this a viable concern?</p> <p>I have used JFreeChart, but I am concerned about the performance, and also found it very difficult to add small changes. These include a way to change the color of plotted points during run-time after the chart has been created as is possible in matlab. All this requires a lot of extra coding and time consumption which I am trying to avoid.</p> <p>The last option which seems to be the most practical is JChart2D. It seems to have most of the functionality I need and my only problem with it is that it does not look very nice.</p> <p>Does anyone have any recommendations for me? I plan to code this in as short a time as possible, and the worst case scenario is for me to discover that bugs in some third party package or that an option I need is unavailable and requires a lot of extra code, though it would be nice to learn something new.</p> <p>This decision may of course affect the entire GUI package that I choose to use, which currently appears to be Swing.</p> <p>Thanks,</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
