Charts, graphs or other data display

[monbster]

After some attempts with Javascript charting tools, I've found PHP to be much better suited for the task. Using the Image_Graph package (http://pear.veggerby.dk/) from PEAR (http://pear.php.net/) I've managed to make some nice charts. However, there are some things I'm unable to do, so I was wondering what anyone else has used to output chart or graph data?

Yes I do using the PHP / GD functions. Plotting lines / text / rectangles for example to draw line graphs or bar graphs.

I've done a few, mostly crap, and some other things like captchas :D

The weirdest was a speed dial sort of thing, give it a percentage and it'll move around, 50% is straight up, 0/100% is horizontal

Worked well after i figured out the maths of it

Well for anyone that needs to make real nice looking charts and data displays I would definitely recommend PEAR Image_Graph. The output is at least as good as Excel '98 and can look even better with some tweaking.
