What is the best set of graphing / graphing tools for creating graphs like Google Analytics?

Question

Given the Rails application on the server, what is the best solution for building charts / graphs to display dynamic charts / diagrams based on a database on a web page, for example, available in Google Analytics.

An optimal solution would include components that can speak JSON back and forth using a Rails application through AJAX.

Thanks!

Answer 1

While many of the good solutions presented above are the best imho FusionCharts

Including those proposed here, I evaluate the solution as follows:

• Fusioncharts

• Open Flash charts (plugin: http://pullmonkey.com/projects/open_flash_chart )

• Ziya LiquidRails (which runs on top of XML / SWF diagrams )

The Google visualization API is good too, but not if you don't like everything that works through their servers (which I doubt most). Since my option # 1 is higher, the only drawback is the cost (although there is also a free Lite version).

Thanks again for all the suggestions made above.

Answer 2

Check Google Visualization API
