Suggestions for graph generators
I'm looking more for a bar graph or a pie chart generator. Most seem to have a price tag attached but I'm looking more for a free piece of software. Has anyone used anything to this description before that's not going to require a lot of hard work?

After a few hours of playing around with JPGraph I realised it's very powerful and will come in very useful at some point in the future. But if you know very little about OOP then it's quite a task to graps as I've realised. I'm finding my self modifying pre-writen examples off Google to see working graphs.

JPGraph, unfortunately, is the best option. The documentation is mostly okay, but if you want to do anything professional with it, you have to pay a fee, and it's not very suited to making your graphs look professional - the API is really muddled and confusing, and if you want to do something that's not basic, be prepared to search for it. The "tutorial" is not written very well IMHO either.
It would be nice to see some nicer PHP applications in general, really.
