ChartDirector is a high performance and highly customizable chart and graph library with extensive chart types, meters and guages, rich formatted tooltips, programmable track cursors, viewports for zooming and scrolling, real-time charts and huge data sets support, and PDF reporting features.

ChartDirector for Java is a ChartDirector edition written in pure Java. It runs on any system with Java SE 6 or above.

One of the most common usage of Java is for JSP or Servlet based web applications. ChartDirector for Java includes special server side controls and browser side controls to support JSP and Servlet applications.

The JSP Chart Viewer works on the server side. It generates HTML to display the chart and to support for user interactions such as tooltips, track cursors, and zooming and scrolling. It also handles AJAX chart update, stream chart updates as well as downloading PDF reports.

The Javascript Chart Viewer is the browser side counterpart of the JSP Chart Viewer. It provides the user interface for user interactions with the chart on the browser side.

ChartDirector can generate charts in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), in addition to PNG, JPG and GIF. SVG ensures the chart remains sharp and crisp in responsive web design, in which the chart can resize to fit different user devices.

The ChartDirector distribution includes hundreds of JSP examples demonstrating various chart types and user interactions.

ChartDirector for Java is distributed as a WAR (Web Application Archive). (A WAR is the same as a zip file but with a particular directory structure.) You can deploy the WAR, which includes the fully functional ChartDirector library, sample code, and documentation, to a JSP server to begin testing ChartDirector.
