Graphing utilities
Posted: Fri Apr 04, 2008 1:59 pm
I have googled for this and looked at a bunch of products, but thought I'd get input from you folks on what your experience has been.
I'm looking for a utility to extract data from a MySQL database and present line and bar graphs online. The graphs need to be of a quality that looks professional and attractive, but no need for flash or flashiness. Just a nice crisp busineslike appearance. Free would be nice, of course, but my client is willing to pay a reasonable price, and he likes me well enough that he will go along with ease of use being a higher priority than low cost.
Of course all the packages I've seen claim that a fifth grader can use them without reading the instructions, but I'm not certain that I'm as smart as a fifth grader, and I don't know how to read instructions, so...
Has anybody had experience with any such utilities?
