Creating graph

[Sonnich]

Happy new year!

I need to create a page with a graph. Data will be read from a DB,
processed and then I should create a JPG or something to show.
Does any one know of a component which can do this?

I wonder, whether WMF files would be better, probably esier to create.

You too.

It depends what you mean by a graph - a series of vertices (nodes) connected
by edges (e.g. a state diagram) or do you mean the kind of chart you would
produce using a spreadsheet?

For the former, graphviz - a standlone rendering program which uses its own
graph description language (which can easily be generated with PHP). For
the latter, jpgraph - a PHP library.

Try Google for URLs.

In what way better? (SVG is the open standard for scalable vector graphics
and is supported by Graphviz & Mozilla/Firefox - MSIE requires a free
plugin).

I recommend ChartDirector, provided you're able to install an extension
module.

If not, JpGraph looks decent enough.
