Hi-  
I need to create simple charts on the fly - I had used JFreeChart in the  
past with inJ2EE apps. Is there any equivalent here for Ruby. My  
charting needs are simple: just line charts.

Also if anyone has done this, pls let me know how I should go about in  
doing it.

Thanks

Gruff:

Gruff + Rails:

Seems to have a nice and simple interface.

Gruff uses RMagick anyway…

I like SVG GRAPH

[http://www.germane-software.com/software/SVG/SVG::Graph/](http://www.germane-software.com/software/SVG/SVG::Graph/)

Works great … now that Foxfire 1.5 supports SVG

Hint: in view: \<%= graph.burn %\>
