PHP Graph creator

milkboy

Hi everybody,

Writing a system which creates reports. Now I would like to include some pie, bar, etc. charts in it. Came across http://www.maani.us/charts/index.php, which works and looks very nice, but unfortunatelly the client will want to copy parts of the reports into Word documents, and flash does not copy (if anybody knows differently please let me know).

Anybody used any other PHP chart creation scripts? Usage of the GD library is not a problem. Even don't mind a small License fee.

Any help is as always greatly appreciated

Hi,

Two years ago I pulled a script called chart from some code library.DO not know where anymore, and have mutilated it enough for you not to want it anymore ;-)

anyway. credentials:

Hmmm seems to be this one:

Interesting, but looking for something a bit more developed (i.e. more control over final look, lets me do a variety of chart types, like pie charts, etc.).

But thank you.

hehe,

yes. That's the one alright.

I just needed a simple line-chart, based on ~1000 X-Y pairs. So the script diud wonders for me. But pies and stuff are more complex. Please PM me if you find one!

This is what I found until now:

http://www.maani.us/ (perfect but in flash)
http://www.advsofteng.com/product.html
http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/index.php
http://www.java4less.com/rchartphp/index.html
http://www.panacode.com/panachart/

But they are either in flash, too expensive, the code seems a bit iffy, etc. (Yes, I AM DEMANDING).

Any further scripts or should has somebody used any of the scripts above and wishes to comment?

fine

you might want to try phplot. It creates real-time chart, such as line chart ,bar chart,pie chart...

It is free.

it is fairly easy use. Highly recommend it.
