I want to Embed a chart in a Web Application developed using django.
I have come across Google charts API, ReportLab, PyChart, MatPlotLib and ChartDirector
I want to do it in the server side rather than send the AJAX request to Google chart APIs, as I also want to embed the chart into the PDF.
Which is the best option to use, and what are the relative merits and demerits of one over the other.
Well, I'm involved in an open source project, Djime, that uses OpenFlashChart 2.
As you can see from our code, generating the JSON-data that OFC uses is a bit complex, but the output is very nice and user friendly, since you can add tooltips, etc. to the different elements.
