Simple Java library for graphing mathematical functions/equations

Question

I'm looking (have looked on Google, no luck) for a Java library that can produce graphs of mathematical functions and equations. It would be great if I could us it as a JComponent for adding to frames, but I can do without. If there aren't any good ones I'll probably make one anyway.

Thanks in advance

Library recommendation, see [here](http://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic). — Sotirios Delimanolis, Sep 29 '14 at 15:55
I wouldn't. Asking for software recommendations is off-topic. — Sotirios Delimanolis, Sep 29 '14 at 16:10
How would you recommend I ask a directly answerable, non-opinionated question on how to draw a graph? — Luke Moll, Sep 29 '14 at 16:11
That depends on the problem. [Here's a good article describing how to ask a good question.](http://codeblog.jonskeet.uk/2010/08/29/writing-the-perfect-question/) — Sotirios Delimanolis, Sep 29 '14 at 16:15

Did you check jfreechart?

As jfreechart uses data series you will have to sample your matchematical functions.

Thanks, I did come across it, i didn't realise it had a data series mode. That'll greatly reduce the code i have to write. – Luke Moll Sep 29 '14 at 18:01
