I am still looking for a decent way to create charts in Rails. The best solution i found so far is Google Charts, since I will be needing the charts as images to embed them into a pdf on the server side. Subsequentially Flash charts are not an option. On the other hand I don''t want send all my data to Google. I''ve tried Gruff, but 5 seconds is simply to long for creating one chart. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I was just looking into this topic the other day. However, these solutions might not fit your requirement of saving the charts as images. These are javascript generated charts with many, many options and decorations and interactivity. http://woork.blogspot.com/2009/03/useful-scripts-to-plot-charts-in-web.html I think protochart and flot look pretty good. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

gnuplot doesn''t really look nice and the flash / js / css solutions do not really fit my requirement of creating charts on the server side. I found Eastwood (http://www.jfree.org/eastwood/) which emulates Google Charts but you may run it on your own server. This is quite a good solution, but I do not really like the idear of having to run a servlet container. any further idears? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

There''s plenty out there, Fusion charts free and open flash charts being my top choices.

I have tried almost all of the above charting libraries, gnuplot, google charts and the flash charts as well. Finally I found chartdirector. http://www.advsofteng.com/download.html It proved to be very straight forward to use, provided hell lot of flexibilty and options. Its not free(a yellow strip of text will appear at the bottom of charts unless we buy the license) On Mar 21, 7:23 am, Robert Walker <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Harold A.

Google Charts stinks; it''s the Google Visualization API that you want. Your data doesn''t go to them and the widgets are much better.
