AIOTrade - It's not Flash or A Picture It's A Java Applet on Web Page

For RIA framework, there are choices of Flex/Flash, Applet/JavaFX etc. I saw a lot of real-time financial charts were written in Flex/Flash, all over the world wide web. Then, how about a Java applet financial charting after Java 6u10? I'd like a try, and here is the result:

  • The whole size of a most featured AIOTrade is less than 300k
  • On my Macbook, with Java 6u12 installed, the init time is about 1 sec.
  • By properly arranging Swing layout, the applet can auto-scale to proper size fit in html page just like any element.

Below is a snapshot:

Hi Caoyuan,

Looks pretty good. I'm just curious: what graphing/charting library are you using? JFreeChart?

Also, are you fitting a line through your datapoints up there in the top panel?

In general, I'm actually just curious as to what libs people use for "scientific computing", for lack of a better word. Thanks, -steve

@Steve Graphing/charting is written by myself, it's part of opensourced AIOTrade. it's interactive charting lib, tt's not JFreeChart.

The toolbar is the top component of this applet.
