Hi -

I am a total Ruby N., so anyhelp would be much appreciated. I am sure  
the experts out there can whip the attached graph in a couple of  
minutes.

I have Ruby calculating the data points, all I need to do is create the  
Chart using any of the charting tools supported via Ruby. Can you please  
help?

thanks and much appreciate the help…

I’m not sure how ‘pretty’ you want your graphs, but you can start here:  
[http://nubyonrails.com/pages/gruff](http://nubyonrails.com/pages/gruff) Gruff is a great library, though it  
relies on RMagick, which some find tricky to install.

Good Luck

Tim H. released a script that installs RMagick and ImageMagick  
pretty gracefully on OS X recently. I used it to update my local  
RMagick and it was excellent. Don’t know if he released one for  
another platform yet.
