I found the info I use with a simple Google for ‘rails graphs’

One graphing method is to use Gruff:

Gruff info:  
[http://nubyonrails.com/pages/gruff](http://nubyonrails.com/pages/gruff)

and Gruff with Rails:

I would recommend the Google charts API.

ot you can use fusioncharts free edition for flash graphs backed by  
xml. Easy to generate using rails .builder views

Or you can use Ziya that produces very fine flash graphics.

If you’re doing this for an intranet wherer everyone uses safari or  
firefox, you could generate your graphs using html tag  
(supported for some webkit browsers but not on IE).

It may not be the simplest solution, but I’ll put on the table so  
people can get curious and learn about it.
