Hi Robert, did you already think of asking R to generate your graphs? http://www.r-project.org It might by far be the fastest hack and it can generate barplots, plots, contour plots, etc. in postscript, png, ... format. If you have any questions about R feel free to ask, as I use it day in and day out. Ciao, Armin > > > I need to create some charts from Ruby scripts and there seems to be > > > quite a few options.
