3rd Party Software for Charting

Can anyone recommend 3rd Party Software for Charting (pie chart, bar chart etc)

I have tried to use the Cold Fusion charts <CFCHART> etc..... but they just dont create professional looking charts.

I bought Fusion Charts.

It worked great for a while.

But the charts dont render on IPADS and now they have printing issues.

So now I have decided to start anew.

I want charting software that outputs to professional looking JPG, GIF or PNG images (NO FLASH!!)

Does anyone have any suggestions for 3rd Party Software for Charting that integrates well with my existing cold fusion pages?

    I can recommend amCharts: http://www.amcharts.com/ It's JavaScript cross-browser charting library, developed since 2006. We also have mapping library: http://www.ammap.com

    Hi,

    With FusionCharts v3.2, we've released support for iPad and iPhones as well. The charts can now be rendered in both Flash and JavaScript, and can be exported as JPG, PNG or PDF. Please see www.fusioncharts.com/ipad

    And the best part is for existing FusionCharts users, it's a free upgrade from www.fusioncharts.com/PUC

    Cheers,

    Pallav

    in case you already didn't know, you can go a long way by tweaking the

    webcharts3D bits that cf uses for cfchart. look under your cf install for the

    cfusion\charting dir. there should be a batch file to start the editor & a user

    guide PDF. there's even an eclipse plugin:

    for tricks & tips have a search through ray's blog:

    we have more "sciencey" needs for our charting than cfchart can easily provide &

    use jfreechart for most of our apps' graphing.

    though to get the most of this lib you probably need to cough up $65 US for the

    "developer guide".
