Flash Graphs for Many Languages

TeraTask · #1 (**permalink**) 11-04-2007, 12:03 AM

In doing some research for a couple of projects, I came across Open Flash Chart - which absolutely rocks! If you need to add a graph to your web application, this is definitely the way to go. Just thought I'd share.

NOTE: I have also offered a bit of a code change for easier programming in PHP for pie charts. The gradient aspect of their pie chart doesn't line up so well and wasn't as pleasing as I'd like (unlike the glass bar charts which are cool). Change this snippet and you'll be able to adjust whether pie charts show a gradient graph or not:

Code:

    function pie( $alpha, $line_colour, $label_colour, $gradient = true, $border_size = false )
    {
         $this->pie = $alpha.','.$line_colour.','.$label_colour;
         if (!$gradient) {
           $this->pie .= ','.!$gradient;
         }
         if ($border_size) {
           if ($gradient === false) {
             $this->pie .= ',';
           }
           $this->pie .= ','.$border_size;
         }

    }

That's a nice one. Have you tried FusionCharts? Both FusionCharts v3 and FusionCharts Free work well with PHP. The documentation page describes it more. You can read it at:

Thanks, flash. The price for FusionCharts is out of my budget though and the free version doesn't seem to support labels? Maybe one day when I've got more dough to go around I'll get it, but until then I'll have to stick with the free ones. --- strike that. I just checked their license structure more carefully and they want $499 for usage on unlimited sites. Sorry, but if I'm getting to that amount of investment capital, I'd buy the Flash creation program and learn Flash to take advantage of my math degree.

The math portion of this thread was split off to Mathematics...

Free version of FusionCharts do support labels. It supports rotating long labels along x-axis so that it does not look odd. FusionCharts Free v2 is going to be released soon with more exciting features. I have seen the announcement somewhere on their site.

Thanks. I'll check them out after I've finished my current projects.
