inVINCEable Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Can anyone mention a graphing library? My requirements are as follows: 1. Bar & pie charts 2. Must look VERY nice (probably flash integrated) Looks are very important. Thank you for any and all suggestions.

Axeia Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 http://ezcomponents.org/docs/api/trunk/Graph_gallery.html looks sweet, I generally dislike flash charts (cause some print issues as well.. which if used for a rapport can be bad) If my memory serves me right it's released under a license allowing both modifications and commercial use as well. http://teethgrinder.co.uk/open-flash-chart-2/ Looks impressive, and it seems since I last checked it this version 2 is under the LGPL license instead of GPL.. which is great Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/160106-php-graphing-library/#findComment-844752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aschk Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 JPGraph anyone? Or just work out how to do your own using GD. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/160106-php-graphing-library/#findComment-844764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axeia Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 JPGraph anyone? Or just work out how to do your own using GD. Must look VERY nice Making something yourself is easy (plenty of tutorials for both types of graphs) but making something look nice is quite hard from my experience, especially PIE graphs as the image arc functions don't always seem to work 100% properly.. but worse they're not anti aliased so you'll need something like http://mierendo.com/software/antialiased_arcs/ but that doesn't deal with gradients etc. Nah, if you want it to look nice I'd strongly advice against trying this yourself (I attempted so, and it's hard work) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/160106-php-graphing-library/#findComment-844781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoTheDev Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Don't make something yourself. Why reinvent the wheel? JPGraph is the most popular library for displaying graphs from data in php. http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/160106-php-graphing-library/#findComment-844790 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Baker Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Wait, so does that use PHP at all, or is that strictly flash?FusionCharts is Flash. But what you need to do is pass the data and layout definition of the chart that you want to the flash script.... that requires a language like PHP or Perl or Java, etc. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/160106-php-graphing-library/#findComment-849793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
