Forum OpenACS Q&A: Charting

1: Charting

Searching on www.scriptics.com I've found this Tcl package: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tgdchart/. In the README he mentions:

Portions of this extension are based upon the i-no chart module for AOL Server by Art Gillespie (agillesp@i-no.com). See http://www.i-no.com/art/inochart.html for this module.

I've also subsequently found this AOLServer module mentioned here as well.

The site (or rather /art/inochart.html) is not there anymore. Does anyone know what happened? I am looking for something similar to PHP jpchart. I think that it could be very well used in the new Intranet module (and would be a great marketing thingie -- PHB's love graphs :)

I have a copy of inochart, but you probably don't want it.

Tgdchart is better, more feature-complete, but it has some bugs. I have a patched tarball that fixes a couple things, but it needs some more work. Overall it's in okay/workable shape.

inochart has less features and more bugs.

I could assume as much, considering that the last mention of inochart is, I believe, in 2000. Any chance you could put your patched Tgdchart somewhere? Like new-file-storage? I'd love to take a look at it...
