advsofteng.com That charting package is excellent, however there are not currently any Ruby bindings. I''ve poked around a bit at the python and C++ bindings, it doesn''t look like it would be too difficult to create Ruby bindings for. It''s not free either, but it''s not that expensive.

I''m in the process of reverse engineering the php wrapper and building a rails helper out of it.

Thanks everyone. I think I''m going to try out the ruby-gdchart-0.0.9-beta<sourceforge.jp/projects/ruby-gdchart>library. Although the copyright in the readme is out of date, it appears to be open source. I generally prefer to utilize open source products for development. That way I can benefit from all of the testing I perform for an organization as an end user. ;) I''ll try and blog what I am able to pull off. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ D''Andrew Thompson dathompson.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

A ruby class to generate the charts would rock.I saw that a while ago and thought it was pretty neat (well, aside from my general distaste for flash, I liked the idea of rendering a chart with vectors). What would be really cool is a way to generate charts as SVG, though browser support for SVG needs to increase before that becomes really practical. -- Urban Artography artography.ath.cx

Someone on the list mentioned using rjb (ruby java bridge) to accomplish this. Read the thread titled "Rails on JRuby", specifically Jason Foreman''s post. I haven''t personally done this but have used JasperReports quite a bit....good stuff. John

From my toying it looks very capable. Thanks, John
I just tried ChartDirector--it''s actually a great product. Until there are Ruby bindings, what is the best way to integrate this into a Rails app? I can see two ways: 1. Rails calls a command-line PHP process to generate the charts, and the resulting data is returned using send_data. This appeared slow to me. 2. A second webserver (Apache/PHP) is set up just to serve the charts. The problem here is if you want to serve a user-specific chart to a logged-in user, because the login authentication happens on the Rails server and the Apache server has no way to verify the user. Is there a better way? -Jeff On Jul 27, 2005, at 3:01 PM, Mando Escamilla wrote:> I''ll second ChartDirector.
