graphing - best approach? (Google Chart API, Flash, RMagick...?)
Hi, I want to include some graphs in my RoR application. Any recommendation re where I should jump. I''ve already gone through an RMagick installation for other purposes. Want it to be relatively straight forward, but also want the graphs to have a high level of finishing. Possible options? * Google Chart API - http://code.google.com/apis/chart/ * Rails Gruff - http://code.google.com/apis/chart/ (RMagick based / plugin) * Flash based approach perhaps: - http://teethgrinder.co.uk/open-flash-chart/ - http://www.fusioncharts.com/ [costs $$] What approach do you recommend for a RoR developer?

I would like to give my vote up for the Google charts API. It''s pretty simple and it''s really fast. I use it for this site: http://brocoum.com/voter/ On Apr 22, 4:30 pm, "Greg Hauptmann" <greg.hauptmann.r...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hi, > I want to include some graphs in my RoR application.

It went pretty well. The library is a little confusing to use at first... seems a pretty straight port of the PHP library, not as "ruby-ish", but it did what I needed it to do and looks nice. Didn''t look at google''s charting as it wasn''t an option for business reasons... I thought I''d read some where that gruff wasn''t being updated. Maybe that was scruffy though. I don''t really remember... -p --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I don''t really remember...---- same idea...I used Ziya but again, I''m not sure that it''s being developed any further but it didn''t seem to matter...it works really well.

I personally like Gruff, then Google Chart API ... in that order. If you already have RMagick then I''d go with Gruff. My two cents.
