Create graphs without the GD Lib?

[paulobrads]

Does anyone know any products or open source ways of creating graphs (preferably line graphs) in PHP without using the GDlib?

Many thanks,
Paul

You can draw spans, or tables and have their heights or widths change depending on the values you want to show.
Give them solid backgrounds and they can look like graphs if done correctly.

You could do worse than look at jpgraph

JPGraph, although a great piece of software, requires GD.

SVG might be an option, though I am not aware of there being anywhere near as many pre-built graphing solutions for it. And you have the ever-present IE issues.

A quick cheap'n'rough html way would be to make a small gif (in the example below, the sample gif named red.gif is 1x25 pixels) and then stretch it using the width attribute:

<img src="red.gif" height="25" width="10" /><br />
<img src="red.gif" height="25" width="500" /><br />

Will that be applicable?

Thanks for all your help. I've decided against even using graphs in what I'm doing - long story, thanks anyway, this thread will be good for future reference.
