Charts
« on: July 20, 2008, 07:45:22 PM »
I think tgm mentioned Google charts API a little while ago. Anyone have any experience with it or other graphing/charting libraries for web development. So far I've come accross:

Google Chart API (http://code.google.com/apis/chart/)
FLOT (http://code.google.com/p/flot/)
Open Flash Chart (http://teethgrinder.co.uk/open-flash-chart-2/)

The thing I don't like about Google chart API is that you have to use it as a service rather than just a downloadable library.

The other thing is that none of the libs listed above allow interactions with the graphs, like a call back after clicking on a data point.

I use jpgraph a bit and it works for the vast majority of things.

The charts works the same way as the maps. Its sort of nice that its handled mostly on their end. It makes it fairly easy to implement with just some code and it takes load off of your server.
