This is for a personal project, so I'm looking for something that's free. 
There are some commercial products out there, but they're (way) beyond my 
budget at the moment. 

Google's Charts API does not appear to include the PERT chart; however, is 
there a way to create one from existing resources? Does someone have an 
example? I'm just learning  JavaScript and HTML.

The project I have in mind is to provide a visual representation of a 
mainframe-hosted batch process or schedule, which contains start and end 
jobs with one or more jobs in between them. The PERT chart with durations 
and dependencies would seem to be a good fit for the requirements. The 
input to the process would be an XML file created from an extract from the 
mainframe containing elements for job information and metrics in addition 
to the predecessors of and successors to the jobs. 

I've been testing the use of the HTML5 canvas to  dynamically create the 
shapes and connections to represent the batch schedule, but this may be 
complicated for a large number of jobs, which could compromise the size of 
the canvas. However, I'm willing to go in that direction in the absence of 
a (more professional) looking framework or library.

I would appreciate any guidance, thank you.
