GDGraph (1.44)

It is a simple, easy module to create graphs with all the features you would need. Two minor gripes:

- the graphs generated with the default themes are a tad ugly, so you should definitely customize it
- (probably not much the maintainer can do) but the PPM repositories for people in Windows land contain a slightly outdated version, which is missing some features (like getting the list of image feature coordinates to create image-maps)

GDGraph (1.44)

This is one of those modules that delivers. It does what is says it does with a clear interface, some decent examples, and a perlish way of doing things which means if you are a beginner this is still easy to use. If you are looking for a simple way to graph some info, perhaps for a web site, or for a report, you can do a lot worse that spend a little time with this module.

GDGraph (1.4308)

I have been using GD::Graph since it was released. It is clearly written, has a wide variety of chart types available either in the bsae distribution or on CPAN. It is very simple to use, and although the docs do not contain a clear Synopsis section, they do contain a clear tutorial and many tests/examples/demos.

Aesthetics are by definition subjective, and although GD::Graph can have most of its components adjusted (from colouring to spacing to fonts), it would benefit from a wider variety of styles in the tests/examples/demos.

Excellent module.

Versatile and easy to use.

Note that if using GD::Graph::hbars then the hotspots array (x, y) coordinates need to be transposed if you plan to use them in an <AREA> tag (or similar).
