applet - Draw Gaussian curve in Java

Question

I'm coding an interactive applet with Piccolo and I need to include a Gaussian curve (aka Normal distribution chart) inside it.

I imagine any kind of Java implementation would be enough, but I can't find any. Ideally, I'd like to pass a set of values and have the chart drawn in a panel, an image object or anything that can be embedded in an applet.

Before getting my hands dirty coding it myself, does anybody know of a working piece of code to do it?

Implementations in other languages are welcomed, as long as they are easily portable to Java.

Answer 1

Don't know if it works, but Google threw up this code to plot a Gaussian distribution.

The home page for this project is here.

If Piccolo doesn't perform the plotting for you, I would perhaps use JFreeChart for the actual plotting, since it's widely supported and very capable. (I'm not familiar with Piccolo)
