reportlab allows you to generate PDFs, which can be as high quality as you want; but if you want to display them on a webpage it's far from the best. matplotlib is nice, being python. the biggest drawback is that being a server-side task, so you have to deal with the processing time and/or storage/deletion of (old) images. for in-page charts, you can use flot (http://code.google.com/p/flot/), or Google Charts (http://code.google.com/apis/chart/). the first one is a jQuery plugin, the other is an API that basically lets you construct an URL for a PNG that's rendered on Google servers. in both cases, you simply put (some of) your data on the page and let either the client (if using flot) or somebody else (if using Google charts) deal with the heavy tasks. -- Javier -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
