I am using XML/SWF Charts on my site. (http://www.maani.us/xml_charts/) http://www.maani.us/xml_charts/) You can see an example here: http://www.carhuntr.com/prices-Chevrolet-Suburban.html http://www.carhuntr.com/prices-Chevrolet-Suburban.html It is easy to work with, and I have tested it using browsershots. Displays correctly in almost all browsers. My only concern is the load-time. So far it does not seem too bad.

  I've been really impressed with flex charting and if the 300 bucks isn't too much for ya, I would recommend it. Google finance is a good example of it's power and integration ability with javascript.

The http://www.dojotoolkit.org http://www.dojotoolkit.org JS toolkit has a pretty good charting library, and the developers are quite responsive.

FusionCharts is good, well documented, and damn cheap (but not free). They do offer a fully functional trial version-- it just has a big "demo" label on resulting flash graphs. We use it for http://www.rescuetime.com.... http://www.rescuetime.com....

Great Flash charts: http://www.maani.us/xml_charts/ http://www.maani.us/xml_charts/ GD::Graph is great and quite sophisticated: http://search.cpan.org/~bwarfield/GDGraph-1.44/Graph.pm http://search.cpan.org/~bwarfield/GDGraph-1.44/Graph.pm Chart::Strip is neat: http://search.cpan.org/~jaw/Chart-Strip-1.05/Strip.pm http://search.cpan.org/~jaw/Chart-Strip-1.05/Strip.pm RRDTool is amazingly powerful for time-lapse data: http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/ http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/
