Does the new Chart FX (vers. 7) for Java Desktop supports gauges elements? If not, when it will be available for javax. swing applications? Thanks, Best regards

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I've downloaded chart fx (version 7) from website (the binary file for the linux version I have installed is named versioncfxjava7trial.bin). Once I've installed the binary on my pc, I' ve copied the plugins files for eclipse from the chart fx installation folder to my eclipse installation folder. Then I've restarted eclipse with -clean option and I've verified that softwarefx plugin has been installed, but unfortunately not correctly. Infact, while I can create a new SoftwareFx file, for example a new_chart.cfx file, when I click on this, the following exception appears on char designer editor: java.lang.NullPointerException at

I haven't found enough suggests for Eclipse installation in the documentation. Thanks in advance and best regards, Enrico

Hi, So, i can't already integrate your libraries in my swing panel. Nevertheless, i would be interested in the future (also few months away) in integration and trying the new version of Chart Fx (gauges included). In regards to that, i would like to know: - How will it be possible to integrate gauges in a swing panel ? - Will it be possible to refresh the gauges value with frequency of about 1000 Hz for real-time applications ? - Have you an idea of licensing and pricing ? Best Regards,Enrico

Hi, i would like to know if it is possible to use software fx gauges, fillers and digital panels in a javax.swing.JPanel. If it is possible, can somebody show me en example code ? Theanks, Enrico
