on Jul 3rd, 2008pChart - a PHP class to build charts

Chart

pChart is a PHP class oriented framework designed to create aliased charts. Most of todays chart libraries have a cost, our project is intended to be free. Data can be retrieved from SQL queries, CSV files, or manually provided.

Focus has been put on rendering quality introducing an aliasing algorithm to draw eye candy graphics. In fact, quality is slowing down the renderer engine… this is one of our way of improvment!

To run pChart on your web server, you’ll need to use PHP compiled with the GD library support.
