org.eclipse.birt.chart.render
Contains classes that represent the core plot rendering framework.
org.eclipse.birt.chart.script  
org.eclipse.birt.chart.util
Provides miscellaneous classes associated with data types and extension lookup services.
This document is the API specification for the BIRT Chart Library

Start with the org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.impl package to determine what type of chart needs to be created.

The model.* packages represent the core chart model interfaces and enumeration classes generated using EMF
The model.*.impl packages represent the core chart model implementation classes generated using EMF
All other packages are dependencies and indirect references from the core model.
