It's great to be developing at a time where we can leverage off a range of technologies. Some of the flash charting libraries out there that are licensed look amazing - if not borderline cheesey - but hey! http://www.fusioncharts.com/ Cheers for keeping an eye out! Hope all's well in the land of the rising sun bro :-) Hey Dan, thanks for the heads-up! It’s great to be developing at a time where we can leverage off a range of technologies.

It seems pretty similar to the chart solution you ended up using, which admittedly, I had not seen before. YUI provides a lot of different functionality, but the YUI codebase is pretty modular, so you only need to include the bits you want to use. That said, I understand your concerns about using yet another javascript library. Good luck with everything. Dan The YUI chart functionality uses a combination of flash and Javascript.

Actually went with Flash in the end; YUI would be a bit overkill, plus would add another js library to the prototype / scriptaculous that we are currently using :) Thanks for reading :D @ Dan – thats pretty cool man, cheers for flicking through that link.

Maybe it's overkill for what you are doing, but have you had a look at YUI, specifically the chart functionality? http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/charts/index.html Obviously more client heavy than just returning an image, but perhaps a little more flexible.
