charts

I'm having a very difficult time getting my head around charts in Drupal. What is the best module to start with? I've tried them all but can't seem to figure them out. I've been trying to read all I can find, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot to read. Maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places?

At DC DrupalCON 2009, a lot of new code came on the scenes:

http://drupal.org/project/views_charts
http://drupal.org/project/views_groupby
http://drupal.org/project/charts_graphs

I worked in a module time ago (since charts is available) to provide a graphical view for the user point 'history'.

In my setup (a gaming site) having such a view like this (the attached image) would provide more sense of "award" for each point a user gets as they all requested. Finally I did a quick integration with chart and userpoints to just provide the graphical evolution of the user's points.

The module creates statistics with aggregated data. The data will be stored in a new table, which will be updated with a cron run. This statistic module provides statistical results of nodes, comments and users. Those results will be stored even if the access-log or the watchdog table have been deleted. For the presentation the data views and charts module are used. The Drupal core statistics module is used for the raw data (actually it is required for statspro).

This is the issue from whence it came; http://drupal.org/node/323881

Moved to official ideas list at http://drupal.org/node/236453

The idea is to make a new type of view (for views module, of course), the Chart View.

And to make the chart the student can use http://teethgrinder.co.uk/open-flash-chart/index.php
