I used older version (1.5.3, latest at that time), there were no special requirements and was also GPL Larry Brown wrote:
My extreme apologies to jpgraphs. They are more in line with phplot. I might even end up using them instead. Vagarant is the more difficult package. Again, their graph examples are pretty smooth but required a lot of package/dependency updates to RH.
This is by no means an advertisement, just one of the results I got looking
around for charts. The following link lists a few viable
solutions.

Jpgraph renders an excellent image from the examples but the prerequisite
packages were many and ultimately the install/readme didn't work for compiling the package. I could have looked further and found a solution, but with the number of prerequisites I dropped it looking for a faster install. The next one I came across that gave a reasonable looking chart was phplot which only requires GD which is stock on my RH distro. I got it up and working without any installation (not to mention dependencies). So I am up and running quickly and smoothly with phplot. It's a shame jpgraphs' dependencies aren't packaged with the distro. The transparent option on the colors is really smooth and I just >don't have the time. Thanks to all for suggestions, I still want to look at one other site that was recommended here on the list. Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc. (727) 723-8388
