I've had good success in creating SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) documents
for producing bar/line/pie graphs... The format uses an XML document for its
structure, so producing data from a database connection is very easy and
produces nice results.. More information at:
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Overview.htm8
It does require a download of a viewer to embed documents into the
webpage... available from adobe... There is also a SDK for converting SVG
documents to a raster image (PNG, Gif, Jpeg) called Batik, I believe.
I found this to be a little easier than gd, plus a lot more exchangable (due
to its XML nature). Hope this proves to be helpful!
