Comprehensive graphing and charting solutions…?

Question

I have need to produce LINE, BAR, and PIE charts in Rails. I have found several that do all these. However the one caveat is that I can never find a solution that does all as well as XY-SCATTER. I've looked at Gruff,Scruffy,Gnuplot, etc. and none of them do "everything". Can anyone recommend a local (i.e. doesn't require network connectivity) library that can accommodate? GoogleCharts isn't an option as some of this will occur on closed networks.

Best.

Answer 1

Open Flash Chart Plugin for Ruby on Rails - Graphs

Answer 2

If you don't mind commercial solutions, take a look at ChartDirector.

Answer 3

FusionCharts is pretty good if you don't have a problem with Flash.

Answer 4

Have you checked Google charts? I'm not a web developer myself but it seems that, although not implemented in Rails, you can call the chart API and display the generated image.

Looking at the available chart types, it can give you all the types you want.

Edit: A search turned up this google-chart-on-rails wrapper.
