   As well as JFreeChart, JavaFX 2.0 Charts can also be added to MATLAB figures using a JFXPanel. Those can be added to MATLAB containers in the same way as a JPanel using the undocumented javacomponent function (or derivatives like uicomponent and jcontrol from the FEX – see this blog for details from Yair (link)
   You will of course need to put the JavaFX runtime from Oracle on the MATLAB javaclasspath (http://javafx.com/).

   Hey Yair,

   Amazing blog I read it all the time; I have a quick question about using the jzy3d library (Supposedly a good library for charts that are bit more complicated than those in JFreeChart, which I have gotten working with no problems). I have just been testing it and I am having difficulty getting a piece of code working. I added the following files to the static path:

   org.jzy3d-0.9.jar
   org.jzy3d-0.9-dependencies.zip

   And ran the following code:

   size = 100000;
   points(size,1) = org.jzy3d.maths.Coord3d;
   for k=1:size
       x = rand(1) * 1000;
       y = rand(1) * 1000;
       z = rand(1) * 1000;
       points(k) = org.jzy3d.maths.Coord3d(x,y,z);
   end
   colormapper = org.jzy3d.colors.ColorMapper(org.jzy3d.colors.colormaps.ColorMapRainbow(),0,100);
   scatter = org.jzy3d.plot3d.primitives.MultiColorScatter(points,colormapper);
   chart = org.jzy3d.chart.Chart;

   When I create the ‘chart’ object I get the following error:

   Undefined variable “org” or function “org.jzy3d.chart.Chart”.

   I have checked to ensure that the fully qualified name is correct and the constructor accepts no arguments.

   Any help will be appreciated.

   Thanks,

     @Patrick – I’m not exactly sure, but you can look at Malcolm Lidierth’s recent FEX submission that demonstrates using jzy3d in Matlab. If you drill down in this submission’s internal m-code (which shouldn’t be too difficult), I’m pretty sure you’ll find the answer.

     @Patrick
     Some of the jzy3d dependencies (e.g. JOGL) are part of the standard MATLAB distribution and on the static javaclasspath – but not in the right version for jzy3d 0.9. Try using jzy3d 0.8.4 which worked for me – or update the dependent jars loaded by MATLAB.

     @Malcolm

     I tired using your submission on the FEX and I am able to create my example above, I’ll see what I can do about using 0.8.4. Thanks for your suggestions.
