Re: [Radiant] Generating graphs
Hi Geoff, In terms of the google chart ruby wrapper did you have any issues with bar charts? I'm struggling with having a y axis that is larger than the actual data. The bars stretch to the full height, even though they are not the value of th top o the y axis.

Re: [Radiant] Generating graphs
If you don't mind using Adobe Flash then OpenFlashChart http://teethgrinder.co.uk/open-flash-chart-2/ is a very good flash based graphing tool. There is a rails plugin to go with it for ruby at http://github.com/pullmonkey/open_flash_chart/tree/master Jeff Quoting Sean Cribbs : 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. Sean John Polling wrote: Thanks for the info will give a few of them a try.

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.
