[support] Need a module for charting

[Metzler, David]

Since you're really not trying to automate the graphing, but rather include one, I'd recommend just creating the graph as a JPEG, GIF or SVG using an outside tool and then embedding it in the node.

You're asking drupal to graph a data in a node that isn't structured?  Seems like an odd way to handle this.   Either you want to import the structured data into nodes (or other custom tables), and have drupal display it using the graph of the structured data.

What you're asking for is a pretty abnormal use case, so you're probably looking at custom code.

I have a dquark poll for which I would like to present pie charts of the results. The way I read the charting modules I've looked at is that they are either api modules to enable other modules to chart, or they use js for charting and want data passed to them. What I was hoping for, in lieu of dquark charting for me, is a module that will accept a table of data in a node and present me with options to format it.

May not understand quite what you mean by enter data...  THe web form module provides a way to get data into drupal if you're just talking about a data entry form?

But I suspect a clearer description of your use cas might nelp us recommend.
