JpGraph

Yesterday i read my RSS Collection using FeedReader and find an interesting PHP library, called JpGraph that can be used to create Graphs in a simple ways. It was easy to install and it has a good documentation also. Here is the summary of JpGraph from it's website :

JpGraph is a fully OO (Object-Oriented) Graph creating class library for PHP >= 4.3.0. The library can be used to create numerous types of graphs on-line. JpGraph makes it easy to draw both "quick and dirty" graphs with a minimum of code as well as complex graphs which requires a very fine grained control. The library assigns context sensitive default values for most of the parameters which minimizes the learning curve. The features are there when you need it - they don't get in your way!

Features :
- Web-friendly, average image size for a 300*200 image is around 2K and images are seldomly bigger than 4-5K

- Support for both GD1 and GD2 The library will autodetect which library is installed.

- Automatic generation of client side image maps to make it possible to generate drill-down graphs.
