    Chart generation

    Is anybody aware of some convenient chart drawing module? I'm looking for
    something like Chart::Pie, Chart::Strip or Chart::Plot. The idea is the
    following: I'm creating capacity planner for an Oracle database. I know
    how to collect and view the data, but I'd like to draw some pretty graphs,
    showing trends.
    Of course, I'd prefer a free module. Does anybody have any experience with
    Image_Graph PEAR module? I'm a little bit frightened by the alpha status
    of the whole thing.

    I tried Jpgraph a while back and it was alright. I believe it's still free,
    and is pure PHP, not a binary module.

    I currently use ChartDirector at work, which I like quite a lot - produces
    good-looking charts (nicely anti-aliased etc.) and is pretty quick (probably
    mostly due to it being a compiled module). It has a fairly liberal
    unlimited-length free trial license but puts a small yellow banner at the
    bottom of the image, or you buy a license to get rid of that.
