But the lines are'nt appearing when the boxes are checked. Please can someone help. Thank you for your help.

1. Start Eclipse 3.0. (If you do not have Eclipse installed, visit www.eclipse.org.)
2. Go to File -> New -> Project....
3. Select Java Project and click on Next. Enter in a project name and click Finish.
4. Select the project in the Package Explorer view. Go to Project -> Properties.
5. Click on Java Build Path? on the left-hand side of the dialog box and on the right-hand side
click on the Libraries? tab.
6. Click on Add External JARs...? and locate jfreechart-1.0.0-pre1.jar and jcommon-1.0.0-common.jar.
Click on OK.
7. Select the project in the Package Explorer view. Go to File -> New -> Package. Give the package
a name and click on Finish.
8. Select the newly-created package in the Package Explorer view. Go to File -> New -> Class. Give the

To begin with, you need to download the JFreeChart and JCommon distributions, unpack them on your local machine, and generate the API documentation.

1. Download the latest version of the JCommon class library.
   
2. From the subdirectory unpack JCommon, run javadoc to generate the Javadocs locally. If you are unfamiliar then skip this step, but then Eclipse won’t be able to show you the Javadoc popups for JCommon.
   
3. Download the latest version of the JFreeChart class library,unpack it to a directory on your local computer,to the ant subdirectory of the just-unpacked JFreeChart, run ant javadoc to generate the Javadocs locally. As with step 2, you can skip this step, but then you’ll be missing the API documentation.
   
4. In Eclipse, select Preferences then from the Window menu choose the Java ->Build Path -> User Libraries node in the tree. Click on the New and enter JCommon 1.0.12 as the name for a new user library.
   
5. select JCommon version number in the list, Add JARs button and select the jcommon-1.0.12.jar file from the JCommon directory created in the early steps.

I have already installed the jcommon, and jfreechart libraries and attached them to the program that i have written. I have no problem with displaying the graph. i just wanted to make the lines respond to the check boxes that were selected

Re: JfreeChart

There are many alternatives -
