Need open source API to draw graphs

[SSJ]

I'm searching for an open source API that will allow me to draw graphs in real time. Basically I need it to design graphically operation sequences for components production.
Basically I need to be able to design an operation sequence with a lot of branchs and associate necessary resources to each of this operations.
So far I came across with a tool that seems interesting enough for me: JGraph (

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jgraph

), all the other tools I've found aren't open source or free. Anyone had to use a tool like this before and might be able to advise me if it knows a better one?

TIA

If I understand you right, you need to make some painting programs? If so, when, after you install j2se the directory with samples contains an applet sample which paints with source.

That's not exactly what I'm looking for, what I'm after is some 3rd party component that will help me build operation sequence graphs so I can include it on my project. I don't want to use the java2D API myself to build this graphs.
Like I said JGraph seems to be a very good solution as it's open source and free.
I'm just asking if anyone knows any similar solutions for this particular situation so I can test and compare them.

http://wwww.ilog.com

has a great set of graph drawing utilities that use SVG called JViews, those were the best looking solution I've seen so far, but they are expensive of course...

If you are looking for any web based Open source API may be you can try this

http://cewolf.sourceforge.net/

Which is a free open source.

How about Java OpenGL Bindings. It should do what you need. Check out the following links:
