SWTChart 0.5.0

SWTChart 0.5.0  is a free and multi-platform chart component for Eclipse which has basic functionalities. All of widgets in SWTChart are composed of SWT, so that you can easily hock listeners to widgets, and also you can easily extend the functionality without expertise of AWT.

As an example extending SWTChart, SWTChart Extension is bundled together with SWTChart, so that you may get some idea how to extend it. SWTChart Extension has an ability to zoom with mouse or to scroll with arrow keys. Of course, instead of extending with public API, you can directly customize SWTChart itself, since SWTChart is open source software.

SWTChart provides an ability to handle large data size of series. Even if showing 1,000,000 data points, repainting or resizing chart panel doesn't take long time. The internal algorithm is not to simply sample the data with a certain interval but to thin out only the data which doesn't make sense to show in current screen resolution. Therefore, even if there are prominent peaks in large data points, the peaks wont be lost in the screen.

SWTChart has minimum basic functionalities. SWTChart doesn't have any dependencies other than SWT, and even JFace is not required. The file size of deliverable (SWTChart jar file) is around 170KB including source code. This would make it easy for you to distribute your application.
