Re: Best module for generating Pie Charts and Bar Graphs

There's also PNGgraph, but it's not specifically designed for on-the-fly web generation so it would require more coding from you than Apache::GD::Graph would.

Is there some particular reason you are requiring PNG format instead of allowing some other browser-safe format?

Well, first off, PNGgraph is deprecated and is really just a GD::Graph wrapper anyway. In response to your second question, the answer is because PNG's cool for browsers. Really cool. Code is (almost) always untested. http://www.justicepoetic.net/	[reply]

PNG's cool for browsers. Really cool. That IE hack sure does have some UGLY code, though. I much prefer the way Mozilla/Firebird handle things.	[reply]

Everybody at this very small company uses the latest and greatest browsers. The can all handle PNG. And then I just kind of prefer it, too. ;-)	[reply]
