How to create charts

Looking for a way to generate charts

[federico2005]

Hello,
I am looking for a appliance to enable me to create charts which render data included in tables.

I mean appliances or methods handly for people not expert in programming. Even something I run offline is ok; then I should be pasting the chart generated in jpg/png/gif format inside my Html code.

Any advice will be appreciated,
Thanks

Excel can easily create a range of charts and graphs - with a bit of tweaking you can make them look pretty and then screen grab/paste/crop/publish

OK. it's not a very smooth workflow - but if you are only doing a few...

I've been having a hunt around for some open-source software that can produce graphs and charts from a SQL database query.

I know it exists as I looked at it a year or two ago - but I can't now find it.

Some searches in dmoz might unearth it. If your data is in a DB, it might suit. If not, it might still be tweakable.

Sorry I can't remember the name of it.

trillianjedi,
I have found a very easy to run PHP script which doesn't require libraries and any complicated stuff to install; it seems to work fine for bar chart building.
The Url to get the code is: [phpbuilder.com...]

The Url for features descript. is: [phpbuilder.com...]

If you have time to try it, please let me know if one can make use of this script to display data stored into Mysql tables. (It seems to be based on array; altough I suppose 'addDados' and 'addNomes' could also contain $x1 and$x2 variables extracted from a database; please tell me if I'm wrong)
Thanks
