What are good libraries to create a Contour plot in Java? The class ContourPlot in JFreeChart is deprecated, and a reference is made to the XYBlockRenderer class. I would like to have some suggestions.

  • Edited, I hope it fits the rules now. – Sander Feb 04 '15 at 13:12
  • I've written recently some simple implementation of filled 2D contour plot in Java and JavaFX - https://github.com/bluevoxel/Contour2DPlot. Maybe you will find it usefull. – bluevoxel Mar 21 '16 at 16:36
  • @bluevoxel sounds interesting but it's GPL. – Jason S Nov 26 '16 at 05:13
  • @Jason S Why "but"? – bluevoxel Nov 27 '16 at 17:48
  • because GPL for libraries forces the containing application to become GPL... which despite what FSF promotes, is a dead end for anyone doing any work in a commercial environment, even if the application is not for-profit (e.g. in my case I work for a semiconductor manufacturer, we produce software tools that are cost-free but not open-source, and we won't touch GPL libraries) – Jason S Nov 28 '16 at 16:42
  • ...and even when we do produce open-source software, we release it under licenses that are not compatible with GPL without the containing application becoming GPL. (can't remember which one at the moment, maybe Apache) *note*: LGPL is fine. – Jason S Nov 28 '16 at 16:48
  • @Sander as much as we as individuals may appreciate the relevancy of this question (and I certainly do, I found it in a google search), SO considers it inappropriate because it is a software recommendation. – Jason S Nov 28 '16 at 16:51

The closest thing I could find is Jzy3D.

In their gallery is a chart with the title "Filled Contour Demo (2d picture)".

enter image description here

Maybe this would be a starting point.
