About JFreeSVG

JFreeSVG is a fast, light-weight, vector graphics library for the Java(tm) platform that makes it easy to generate graphical output in SVG format directly from Java code (via SVGGraphics2D). It has been developed for use with JFreeChart and Orson Charts - see, for example, the enhanced SVG export feature that we developed for a client that uses Orson Charts. You can also use it with your own projects that use Java2D to generate content.

How fast? See our comparison against Apache Batik. How light-weight? The jar file is less than 50Kb. How can you get it? You can download it right now for free!

JFreeSVG is free software under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence (GPL) version 3 or later. For those that do not wish to be bound by the terms of the GPL, an alternative licence is available to sponsors of JFree (at certain tiers).
