The flot website has many examples. There is a Rails plugin, flotilla, which makes life fairly easy. I don't know whether it is compatible with Rails 3 if that is an issue for you. I tried Open Flash Chart (not the lazy version, not sure of the difference) and thought that the architecture is completely wrong. It makes the chart in the controller whereas it should of course be in the view. The controller should just provide the data to be charted and the view should format it and draw it. That is how it works in flotilla. I found flot to be quicker drawing graphs with many points (though that may not be true on IE as there flot has to use a canvas emulator) Of course if you are developing a public site you have the major decision of whether to insist the users have flash enabled or javascript enabled.
