Hi Luca,
Have you seen the WingsTransformer in 2.1 scratchpad ? It converts
xcml (over at Krysalis) chart markup to svg which you can then give
to svg2png/etc.
I'm using it at the moment and it works quite well for pie, line
and bar charts. Perhaps that might be of use, as it works nicely
with Cocoon ?
Cheers,
Marcus
