Flex chart with scroll and zoom - similar to Google Finance charts - apache-flex

I am looking to create an adobe air/flex chart, which works and looks exactly like:-

Now, I can't afford to pay for amcharts license.. and the free version includes a backlink to amcharts.
Any pointers on this would be helpful.
Thanks

Doug McCune has a drill-down google-finance-esque charting example with source code and demo:

Quality charts ideas

I'm currently developing an ASP.NET page report.
I am looking for a chart which display quality by grade on bar height.
I was wondering if you have any ideas for me as I have searched the web for few days now.
Microsoft Chart Control
Google Chart Tools (ajax)
SSRS rocks, Just have a try with this tutorial :
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/13725/Getting-started-with-SQL-Server-Reporting-Services
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc281302.aspx
Google has a very easy to use Chart API. You can use your ASP.NET page to gather the data and then render the chart using Google's API
Try this: http://imagecharteditor.appspot.com/
There are lots of other Javascript and Flash based charting libraries as well:
http://www.highcharts.com/
http://www.fusioncharts.com/
FusionCharts XT is the leading enterprise charting solution.
Check out their gallery - http://www.fusioncharts.com/demos/
They also provide integration with ASP.NET (C#) - http://docs.fusioncharts.com/charts/contents/?guide-for-web-developers/csnet/CS_BasicExample.html
They've provided tutorials on how to plot charts using a database too - http://docs.fusioncharts.com/charts/contents/?guide-for-web-developers/csnet/CS_DB.html
They provide HTML5 charts as well as Flash charts.

Complex charts in Google Charts

For a web application I'm working on, I need some pretty powerful graphing capabilities. I'm looking at using Google Charts for my needs.
I'm wondering if Google Charts is capable of producing a graph to the complexity of the one in the image below:

If not, are there any other graphing APIs I can use to create a chart to that complexity? Preferably in PHP.
EDIT: Doesn't only have to be Google Charts. I'm looking for something that can handle the above. Commercial solutions are fine as long as the cost is reasonable.
you can use jqChart Plugin for jQuery for this. You can easily combine column, scatter and line series with specifying custom markers.
Take a look at the samples.
Have you ever tried Fusion Charts?
It's the best charting library I've seen. I've used them for web projects and iOS projects as well since they have now JS versions of everything.
Pretty complex graphics, wide range of charts, and even real-time widgets.
They're not free but totally worth it to consider. I've done everything related to pilots and demo projects with the trial version.
Check them out at http://www.fusioncharts.com/demos/gallery/
In the past i used Fusion charts, and i like so much. It was a good charts library, but you probably would have to pay in order use without restrictions. Well, google charts its nice library too, but with less graphic classes. But i think that combo graphic fits your interests.
Get more information with the link below:
https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/combochart
I ended up using pChart to achieve what I wanted to do.
I made a custom plugin for both Charts and Tables.
Hope its useful to you.
Feel free to use my custom Google Charts plugin which creates both chart and table. https://github.com/cosmoarunn/gapiExt

timeline charts with rich ui

I have a requirement to come up with a time line chart and a few more controls on a single page[with rich ui].
I have short listed
Flex, JSF[apache trinidad], html5, gwt these technologies.
None of them provide timeline charts on their own. I am looking at other options such as using third party libraries.
The chart should have drill down capabilities as well.
Let me know if there is any specific technology that I should try.
regards
Annotated Time Line is integrated with GWT.
Chronoscope is a GWT-based timeseries visualization tool.
amCharts has a great timeline chart (Stock chart) based on Flex. You could try that.

Flex : where to find a free spider/radar chart component?

i'm building my first RIA in flex, and did a little of research to find a radar chart component free, but all i found is not free (licence >500$).
Where can i find it for free ?
I'm student and i'm learning flex, so there is no point of buying component for now.
Thanks
Have a look at BirdEye, it has radar charts in different flavors.
There is another one here : http://lab.kapit.fr/display/radarchart/Radar+Chart

Information Dashboards in R with ggplot2

I'm looking to create a static dashboard viewable in a web browser. And I'd like to create something like what Stephen Few does in his book Information Dashboard Design. (see example at bottom)
Ggplot2: Shouldn't be any issue producing the graphs below, right?
Dashboard Layout: Is grid suitable? Or should I lay things out in html/css?
If grid can do this easily enough, do you know of any good resources for learning how to us it? I've read the manual but I'm not finding it too helpful. I've seen the LearnR blog's ggplot2 sales dashboard (it uses grid) and I'm having trouble understanding the grid and layout part of things.
dasboard sample http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/1029/fewciodashboard800.png
See http://learnr.wordpress.com/2009/04/09/ggplot2-sales-dashboard/ for an example with code.
I think your html/css-direction might be a really smart move.
It might be easier to get an awesome layout using using Open Office draw and just link to the images, checking off the link box when insterting them for the first time. Open Office supports export to pdf making it usefull for reporting.
Even if it was straight forward to programaticly create a stunning document layout in R, I'm not sure it would be worth the time and effort.
Regards
I would suggest also having a look at the brew package, as in this example on the learnr blog.
A few years later, there are options available for dashboards and layouts with R.
For making grids in R, ggplot2's facet_wrap and facet_grid are excellent.
Shiny allows you to make web apps and dashboards with R. Shiny handles the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for you. It's on CRAN.
To use ggplot2 to make an interactive Shiny dashboard with d3.js, you can connect to Plotly's ggplot2 figure converter. Here is a tutorial with code examples. Your published apps let you zoom, toggle, filter, pan, and see data on the hover, e.g.:
