Hi,

I would soon need some basic trends / barcharts / piecharts on my  
rails views. So I am currently scouting for some components on the  
web.

If someone has used and found certain components to be very good in  
this area, please post back…

Thank you for reading,  
Gishu

If you’re looking for plain images, Gruff is pretty good:

If you prefer flash, Ziya is quite good:

Try OpenFlashChart for ruby:

It’s easy to use and works like a charme.
