Stand-alone charts in GWT

Question

I\'ve been trying to get pretty charts to work in GWT on our internal network.

Answer 1

There is one open source api for charts in GWT hosted on http://code.google.com/p/gwt-rcharts/ . The API works on SVG/VML specification. You may find it quite easy to implement and use. You may find the demo at http://gwt-rcharts.appspot.com/

Answer 2

well.. i've used yahoo ui chart library (which GWT-Ext uses internally). Pretty neat solution, in the beta stage though.

Let us know the conclusion you arrive at..

Answer 3

http://code.google.com/p/ext-ux-ofcgxt/ is a nice option if you're using ext-gwt

Answer 4

Google's charts actually come in two flavours, and one of them does not require interaction with Google's servers - so should satisfy your needs.

Google Image Charts is the API you are thinking of, which is an API on Google's servers that returns images.

Google Interactive Charts is a client side javascript API that renders entirely within the browser: Google Interactive Charts

Google provides a GWT wrapper for the interactive charts: GWT Visualization API

It's not all rainbows and unicorns and you can find chart libs out there that make nicer charts, but it's pretty solid, works on all major browsers and we've been using it successfully for quite a while.

Answer 5

Another flash option, with a pre-built GWT integration - Open Flash Chart / ofcgwt.

Answer 6

If you are willing to go with flash, XML/SWF is a wonderful tool
