Pie Charts & Graphs in PHP

[ECRIA spam buffer]

Does anyone know of a tool that can facilitate the on-the-fly generation of
pie charts and graphs? I know that the GD library/JpGraph can do these
things, but I haven't seen any good examples; all the charts I've found have
jagged borders and are quite visually unappealing.

Thanks in advance for any pointers,

Have a look at the free Graphics classes at www.phpclass.org.
One that looks particularly attractive is EQ Smooth Pie Graph, link http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2498.html

This class can be used to generate pie charts from a set of input values.
The input values consist of bidimensional array that define parameters for each pie in the chart. The pie parameters are the pie color, a label and the pie value.
The class generates an image that is stored in a given file. The image size, background colors, legend and shadow parameters are configurable.
The image is generated in true color and in the PNG format so the pie charts appears with smooth edges.

If not useable, there are a lot more of these classes for you.

Ronald :cool:

I use FusionCharts. They have a free and paid tool.

Take a look at ChartDirector as they have modules for PHP as well as other.

Quite inexpensive, quite robust.

Good luck.

I second that, the API is decent and the output quality is good.
