A module worth checking out (IMO) would be, Chart::Clicker. It uses the Cairo graphics library underneath (which could make it too difficult to install in some circumstance, sadly) -- and the output is pretty sexy.

Hi jeteve,

Any new input since 2004 ?

Yes. You can have a look at Really slick Charts and Graphs for some good recommendations.

Cheers,

&R::initR("--silent");
&R::library("RSPerl");
&R::eval("par(mfrow=c(1,2))");
@x = &R::call("rnorm", 10);
# We need to make the @x a reference or the contents
# will be treated as individual arguments.
#&R::call("plot", \@x);

#&R::callWithNames("plot", {'x' , \@x,  'ylab','data'});
&R::callWithNames("plot", {'x' => \@x,  'ylab' => 'data'});

@x = &R::call("seq", 1,10);
&R::call("plot", \@x);

print "Sleeping for 5 seconds and then quitting\n";
sleep(5);

I have been using ChartDirector to make some management attractive graphs. It is shareware with a pretty liberal licence for the trial version. It has an OO interface, is multi platform and multi language and has enough eye candy options to keep management happy.

I am not affiliated with the producers of this software in any way. I am just a satisfied user of this tool

Cheers,
R.
