Financial Charting Library

[mardini]

I am currently searching for a graph charting library for a website I'm
building. The graphs will be mostly financial (stocks, trade volumes,
....etc). I searched the web and found multiple charting libraries like
jpGraph (http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/index.php ) and ChartDirector
(http://www.advsofteng.com/cdphp.html ).

I was wondering if anybody had good/bad experiences with them or if
there are any recommendations .

TIA.

I suggest you use the pear package for this because thats totally
free.. jpgraph is not if you use it on a comercial page and upgrading
pear is also easier etc.

The package is found here: http://pear.php.net/package/Image_Graph

you can see what it can do here: http://pear.veggerby.dk/samples/

On the other hand, Image_Graph is in alpha status, which means that it
is not only buggy as hell, but is likely to change significantly. Other
then that, I wouldn't necessarily trust the package which was unable to
produce at least a decent beta in more then a year.
