I'm looking for a chart/map library that can do a wide variety of graphs and maps, including treemaps, worldmap, line/pie charts etc. The data is going to come from the database, so I am not looking at XML/CSV stuff. It should also have at least minimal interactive options, like zooming etc.
fusioncharts looks good, anybody has other (cheaper) suggestions? Thanks.
I am very fond of Dundas charts and maps, but they aren't free.
Here is a list of Open Source Charting & Reporting Tools in C#
and another list for ASP.Net.
ASP.Net has a Charting Control
Here is a tutorial A Look at WebCharts, a Free .NET Charting Control
You can find lots of other SO recommendations by searching using tags for charts, maps and graphs.
For example, for PHP, this was a very popular question: Graphs/Charts in PHP

I am somewhat a beginner in ASP.NET (C#), and I would like to know if it is feasible to draw a line chart of a time-series using data from a SQL table (SQL Server).
I haven't found any control that allows for a drawing of a time-series (i.e. Time as X-axis variable).
Also, I would like for the user to be able to hover over the chart and see data, as demonstrated in the following link:

Could anyone please enlighten me as to what is the best way to achieve such a result?
Thank you!
You have quite a few options, Reporting Services provides all sorts of graph and charting mechanisms. A personal favourite of mine is JQPlot. The bonus of the latter is that it's free!
Have you tried the Microsoft Chart controls.
have a look at ScottGU Blog here
I have used it and it works really well. The best part is that itès free ;)
HTH
I want to make charts and i tried google chart api module,highchart and others but it seems that is not stable enough.
I am asking if there is a way or a module to make graphs and chart ( like the drupal site for example) and to generate some reports by the easy way .
Thank you ..
Do you mean the new Sparklines in the sidebar of the projects page?
For example http://drupal.org/project/google_plusone
They were made with library flot: http://www.flotcharts.org/
http://joeloughton.com/blog/web-applications/sparklines-using-flot/
And the the Statistics charts, also were made with flot.
For example:
http://drupal.org/project/usage/google_plusone
If you google "flot drupal.org" you will find different modules (integration with Views, etc) and tutorials
Refer to the Comparison of Charting Modules for (lots of) options to pick from. The 2 most commonly used (= reported installs) modules are either the Chart module, or the Charts module". To get you going with either module, you may want to checkout the (recently created) community documentation of either the Chart module, or the Charts module.
The license that comes with the related charting library (engine) in each of these modules, should be considered also. It is one of the (important?) selection criteria for deciding on the module to go for. 'Possible privacy concerns' or 'Yes or no support for saving charts in PDFs' is another typical item to consider.
Disclosure: I'm the author of the comparison and charting modules mentioned above, I hope this does not violate the site's policy on self-promotion.
I want to display some data relations (coming from an xml, for that matter) in asp.net as a flowchart.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a freeware (although it would be nice).
What do you recommend I use?
Edit:
Automatically arranging the node locations according to the relations would be a big advantage.
I don't claim to be an expert in this, but I just spent a fair amount of time trolling around the web looking for such a tool. In the end, I found an awesome javascript engine for doing this:
jsPlumb: http://code.google.com/p/jsplumb/
It will take some work on your part, but the examples are very nice. It should be able to do everything you want.
Does anyone know of any opensource tool for creating dynamic organization chart in flex by reading values from database
Have a look at KapLab (http://lab.kapit.fr)
They have free data vizualisation components. I think you might be interested by the Visualizer component.
It's not open-source though, but you can get the source code if you buy a licence.
(If you need more info, you can still contact me because I'm working closely with them)
The IBM ILog Elixer library has an organization charting component. It's not free, but it fits the bill of what you are looking for.
The most polished "free" components I've seen are the KapLab Visualizer that Pez mentioned.
However for actual open source your best be is the BirdEye Information Visualization and Visual Analytics Library. Check out the demo, the "Graphs" tab and I think tree is right up your alley. BirdEye is built with degrafa as is axiis another open source data visualization library.
Good luck!
Maybe The Flare library would suit your needs , I am starting to use it. Looks kinda funky
http://flare.prefuse.org/
I'm new to Flex but need to generate some visualizations of some time-based data. Any recommendations for tools that would work well in Flex?
Be sure to keep an eye on a new project called Axiis that was recently announced by Tom Gonzalez, a prominent Flex developer. It's a data visualization framework that should make custom charting very interesting.
Flex Builder Pro gives you access to the graph visualization library in mx.charts.
If you want an open source solution, you can try Flare.
If you're willing to pay for it (I think it's in the USD $250 range), Flex Builder Pro is definitely the way to go. The graphing and charting power in the libraries is impressive. It's quite simple to generate nice looking, complex graphs with not much coding.
Something other that the builtin mx.charts?
I'm using the standard Flex Charting - which is extremely configurable - we've been able to make it look pretty much how we want it to...
However, also take a look at iLog Elixir - they provide some superb additional charts that you might find useful - particularly the 3D charts. The Radar chart can be very effective in some situations but you really need the RIGHT place to use such a thing. Also they have a good heatmap and pivot charts.

Jamie.
Some very interesting charts, and they have free-with-logo and pay-and-have-the-source versions, is amCharts. They can be used directly in a web page, feeding settings by XML and data by CSV (as services, by javascript or whatever) and also inside Flex projects.
