    Free & Good HTML Chart Generator

    Anyone know of free & good software that will *easily* allow me to take time series data and create pretty performance charts/graphs from it? Getting the dat aout of my DB is not the issue, it's using the dat ato create charts, etc. Ideally, I'd like to be able to automate the process & have such charts be dynamic.

    I have looked at RRDTool & another open source offering - but I am lazy and am looking to get up-and-running ASAP, rather than spend the next 2 weeks trying to install & learn it.

    Thanks in advance.

        Does it have to be HTML?

        Excel does a very good job with it's data backed pivot chart, all wizrd driven and can work offline (diconnected from database) too.

        Being a pivot based on a cube, you can twist the display of stats any way you wish and it's very dynamic.

        I thought I'd post because I'm right in the middle of using excel to generate graphs from a 97 million record dataset and it's doing splendidly.

          That'd do for me. Automating it - how's that done? Or is yours manual process each time?

            http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/


            Or this free ASP.NET charting library

              so was the HTML requirement a bit of a red herring then?

                It's quite manual as I'm trying to track down a specific trend in data so changing parameters quite randomly, I'd imagine you could automate very easily with VBA though or if not keen on VBA, record a macro!
