I need to find the simplest programs for updatings pie, bar, and plot graphs (with lines connecting the points) on my webpage
i will be graphing seti stats

what are the programs/libraries/methods you guys would recommend ??
things are looking near impossible here
i was looking at gnuplot but that thing is more complex than a calculus course
i hear libgb and perl (with a plugin) can do this stuff well...
is there a simple program out there other than mrtg that will let me do stuff easy ?

libgd should work, ACID uses it with php to do some graphs. Take a look around, Im sure there are stats setups out there somewhere.

anyone know some easier ways that don't require me to learn a programming language and libgb ??
thanks

you could use phplot, which uses php+libgd, i've been trying it and its pretty cool.

some links:

one
two
three
four

but unless there is some sort of package that does this for seti, you will have to do some learning (perl or php likely)

Alright thanks

looks like i'm gonna hafta pull out my stack of programming books and see if i can make it past chapter 6 or so this time....
Gotta reinvent the wheel everytime you wanna do something
i tellya
i'll just learn C and then learn libgd and do the stuff the hard way
cause that's the only way i see anymore

thanks again for the help everyone
