Open Source / Low cost Charts/Graphs

Hello,

I am looking for some sort of charting software that can generate graphs from data passed to it. Primarily looking for something open source or very cheap as this is for a non-profit.

This would be running on a linux/unix system with the primary back end being PHP.

I would greatly appreciate any pointers into the right direction.

JPGraph .. it's ace. But you will need to do some development around it, coz it only makes the graphs.

Thanks... I had found that one and will be doing some testing.

I have found several out there, but was hoping to find folks that have used and tested certain ones and can vouch for their abilities.

Sounds like you have used this one. I'll give it a shot. Another one I saw was PHP/SWF that utilizes flash. Of course that requires a plug in, which most have. It all depends on which one is the easiest to get up and running and the simplest.

Thanks

Check this one out. It's open source and a lot more easy to understand than JPGraph.
