Suggestion for an opensource barchart/piechart graphic package in python
Hi all. I'm looking for an alternative to python gdchart for barchart/piechart in a web application. I'm looking to python gdchart 2, but I'm not sure on the status of maintenance of the project itself. Can someone provide advice? Regards Marco -- Marco Bizzarri http://iliveinpisa.blogspot.com/
You might want to look at ChartDirector (http://www.advsofteng.com). It isn't opensource, but it has many features, works with Python well, and is free if you don't mind a small watermark in your charts. The license is reasonable, too.

I like gnuplot which makes it pretty easy to create a wide variety of plots.

I use it extensively in conjunction with python, buiding gnuplot files and data that are then used to generate image files. Granted that I only work in a *nix environment which is built on the principle of building on the work of others and is easy to tie disparate programs together to accomplish a job. For example, I have a python script I run at one of our ISP customers that gathers postfix mail queue sizes from a cluster of mail servers creating data files and a gnuplot script to generate a plot of mail queue size over time for each cluster server.

Ok, I took a look at it. However, my problem is that it forces me to install gnuplot also (am I wrong?) Since I'm working on a vertical product, which is already complex to install, I would avoid adding another tool... Thanks for your feedback, anyway. -- Marco Bizzarri http://iliveinpisa.blogspot.com/

Google. "gnuplot python" It's not hard. Richard
If you are looking for publications quality charts, you can make a Zopeish wrapper for pychart. http://home.gna.org/pychart/ On Sun, 18 Feb 2007, Richard Jones wrote:

It's a lot harder to avoid making posts like this. If all that I needed was to get some package for creating charts using python (and Zope) , I could have completly avoided my post. What I was looking for (and most of the person which answered did) was to have someone which actually used the packages, or, better, were using it at the moment. I can see that there is a package for python with gnuplot. But is it used? Is it stable? Have it been used inside Zope environment? Regards Marco -- Marco Bizzarri http://iliveinpisa.blogspot.com/

It is very hard to find something at new zope site from 2004 Try ZGDChart, it is simple and good

I tryied ZGDChart, and actually it is what we were using in the past. But gdchart development has stopped, and using it is more and more a problem. Regards Marco -- Marco Bizzarri http://iliveinpisa.blogspot.com/

Have a look at pychart: http://home.gna.org/pychart/. There is a How-To on using this package in Plone, it shouldn't be hard to extract from the given examples how to use pychart in your own project: http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/add-charts -- Martijn Pieters
