Charting/Graphing for WebSpeed

[Chris Kelleher]

A nice tool for creating Excel-style charts/graphs programmatically from
within Webspeed (it works with pretty much any webserver).

Others were asking about such a tool on this list so here is the address:

I've not actually used it yet, but it has a trial download and a test-drive
on their website.

Hi,

The JavaScript graph builder works well for us. It does not do Pie-Charts,
but the bar charts works slick. For Pie Charts we are also using "fly".

I had a number of people point me towards "fly"; but, unless I've
misunderstood something, it only takes plot-points as input for
drawing/filling geometric shapes. This was more low-level than I wanted to
create sophisticated graphs - or are there libraries available that take
high-level data points as input and create a graph of a particular type
(scatter, pie, bar, 3d bar, etc) with automatic axis scaling and labeling
and chart legending?

I found a Java based one that does work with UNIX at: http://www.visualizetech.com/main.html#products

I would be interested to know if you have developed your own libraries to
use with Fly, or whether you found something pre-written.

Thanks,
Warren.
