    Google Chart API

    Google Code FAQ:

    The Google Chart API is an extremely simple tool that lets you easily create a chart from some data and embed it in a webpage. You embed the data and formatting parameters in an HTTP request, and Google returns a PNG image of the chart. Many types of chart are supported, and by making the request into an image tag you can simply include the chart in a webpage.

    Check out this little “Hello World” sample:

    Chart generated with Google Chart API

    I don’t know how long this has been around, but I found out only a week or so ago. The Google Chart API will be very useful for me in a bunch of reporting projects.

    If you are into Ruby check out Ruport (Ruby Reports) and the Online book I found online.
