Draw Gaussian curve in Java

java applet charts piccolo

I'm coding an interactive applet with Piccolo and I need to include a Gaussian curve (aka Normal distribution chart) inside it.

I imagine any kind of Java implementation would be enough, but I can't find any. Ideally, I'd like to pass a set of values and have the chart drawn in a panel, an image object or anything that can be embedded in an applet.

Before getting my hands dirty coding it myself, does anybody know of a working piece of code to do it?

Implementations in other languages are welcomed, as long as they are easily portable to Java.

Don't know if it works, but Google threw up this code to plot a Gaussian distribution.

The home page for this project is here.

If Piccolo doesn't perform the plotting for you, I would perhaps use JFreeChart for the actual plotting, since it's widely supported and very capable. (I'm not familiar with Piccolo)
