One more thing: I did have a problem with Area Charts. IMO the area charts look superior to simple line charts. But when I implemented the area charts, you can only plot a single y point per x-axis value. This meant that on some of my graphs, it looked terrible as they weren't smooth. Of course, I tried to trick the area chart by adding a lot more x-axis values, but it was never a really satisfying solution.
So I ended up moving to a scatter line. Scatter line graphs allow you to plot points on the graph independently of the x and y axis. So I could significantly increase the granularity of chart making the line a lot smoother. But I lost the shading of the area below the line in doing that. It was a bit disappointing.

Each graph also has the code for how they produced the demo at the bottom of the screen. The graphs are more than just rendered images - you can mouseover the points and get tooltips popping up, for example, and there are animations.

They're ok, and there are a couple of annoyances, like with any graph generator, but they're pretty good. Tony, I'm really curious to see how graphs come out in HTML and JavaScript via Kendo, is it possible to see a sample? Contact me off-list <g...@mira.net <mailto:g...@mira.net> > if it's okay -- Greg
