Drawing Organization Chart in Java

[mineshdesai]

Hi ,

I have requirement where in I need to show a Organization chart on
the fly i.e. create a organization chart dynamically and display it.
Also it is a web based application, so i am using JSP and servlets.

Is there any tool or third party api's, using which i can draw a
organization chart.

Thanks

JFreeChart is often recommended for general charting purposes.
I am not sure if there is much more to an org chart that goes
beyond what JFreeChart can do..

If your firm has some money to spend on the project you could use an
inxight StarTree.

See:

Looks like this:

If a cool look is important this would be something to check out.

The API lets you add images, color the background, and change the
shape of the nodes.


There are some open source programs that display data about the same
way - but off hand I didn't find any when I googled.

I have not used it myself, but I understand that if the browser supports it,
you could use SVG.

SVG Scalar Vector Graphics is a way to draw by using xml.
since your jsp creates the html, it can create the xml as well.
