Charting software

FusionCharts - India based flash chart company
FusionCharts Free is a flash charting component that can be used to render data-driven & animated charts for your web applications and presentations.

It is a cross-browser and cross-platform solution that can be used with ASP.NET, ASP, PHP, JSP, ColdFusion, Ruby on Rails, simple HTML pages or even PowerPoint Presentations to deliver interactive and powerful flash charts. You do NOT need to know anything about Flash to use FusionCharts. All you need to know is the language you're programming in.

free version documentation -- great documentation, this whole doc is for free version

- FusionCharts Trial is a no-restriction evaluation of the actual component i.e., there are no days and feature limitations in this trial. The only difference is that in the trial version charts, "FusionCharts" and "InfoSoft Global" imprints would be present on the charts. Once you purchase a license, these imprints would be automatically removed.
- You can use the Evaluation version only for testing purposes. It cannot be deployed to any production website.
Why are we giving it out for free?
