What is the best graphing/charting toolset to use for creating Google Analytics type graphs?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1169465

Question

Given a Rails application on the server, what is the best charting/graphing solution for displaying dynamic, database driven charts/graph on a web page such as those available in Google Analytics.

An optimal solution would include components that can speak JSON back-and-forth with the Rails application via AJAX.

Thanks!

Solution 4

While many good solutions presented above, the best imho is FusionCharts

Including those suggested here, I rank the solution as follows:

  1. FusionCharts

  2. Open Flash Charts (plugin: http://pullmonkey.com/projects/open_flash_chart)

  3. Ziya LiquidRails (which runs on top of XML/SWF Charts)

The Google Visualization API is nice as well but not unless you're comfortable with everything running through their servers (which I doubt most are). Insofar as my #1 option goes above, the only downside is cost (though there is a free lite version as well).

Thanks again for all the suggestions made above.
