    This will be removed when you upgrade however. I suggest you app\code\local\Mage\Contacts\controllers\IndexController.php and edit that file

How to draw Dynamic Line or Timeseries Chart in Java using jfreechart library?

Today we are going to write a code to draw a dynamic timeseries-cum-line chart in java.   The only difference between simple and dynamic chart is that a dynamic event is used to create a new series and update the graph.
