Re: Chart tool
For in-page charts, I use flot, as Javier suggested. I plan to look into pycha based on Skylar's suggestion, though. There is no need for client-side chart drawing with my use case.

Re: Chart tool
I am using the Google Visualization API myself, it's pretty nice. I wrote a blog post with a little how to: http://www.bolhoed.net/blog/using-the-google-visualization-api-in-django/ However, I also used FusionCharts in the past and that's got my vote too :) On Nov 25, 9:07 pm, "S.Selvam" wrote: > Hi all, > > This is my first post here andi am new to django. > > I need to show some data as a chart. > > I would like to achieve a high quality rendering. > > Is reportlab or matplotlib enough ? > > I hope you can direct me on track. > > -- > Yours, > S.Selvam > Sent from Bangalore, KA, India -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Chart tool
We're using AnyChart. It is similar to Fusion Charts in that it is an XML data source that is rendered on the client side with a Flash SWF. http://www.anychart.com I don't think AnyChart has a free version, so you'll have to look into the licensing arrangements to see if it is worth it for you. We're using the scatter chart with my company to display microfinance interest rate data. http://www.mftransparency.org/data/countries/ba/data/ -Tim Langeman Akron, PA (USA) On Nov 29, 4:31 am, John M wrote: > We started playing with FusionCharts, they have a free version which > is pretty slick.

Re: Chart tool
We started playing with FusionCharts, they have a free version which is pretty slick. It's flash based, and not sure about the printing aspect yet. It's generated with some XML and an SWF file.

Chart tool
Hi all, This is my first post here andi am new to django. I need to show some data as a chart. I would like to achieve a high quality rendering. Is reportlab or matplotlib enough ? I hope you can direct me on track. -- Yours, S.Selvam Sent from Bangalore, KA, India -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
