Hi,
I'm looking at writing an extension for creating graphs, and I've so
far looked the scruff and gruff gems for helping with this. My worry
is that they both rely on RMagick and I hear that's got memory leak
issues. Can anyone recommed any other graph gems?
Thanks
John Polling
John,
I've used Google Graphs via a gem wrapper (gchartrb), though I think
there are two or three gems that all do the same thing. Offloading
all the graph-making responsibility is great!

Thanks for the info will give a few of them a try.
Would I be right in then that RMagick is just too leaky to rely upon?

Dear John,
Is Javascript/Canvas an option for you? There are some quite nice
libraries out there:

RMagick is historically problematic. You could use mini_magick which
emulates lots of the RMagick API but uses the CLI programs instead of
the library directly. However, it seems like the front-end graphs are
going to be easier to manage.
