Displaying charts in Ruby on Rails

Question

I want to display charts (bar, line , pie-charts etc.) in my Ruby on Rails application. I tried using Gruff and Scruffy. But found it crude and not easy to use. Then i came around googlecharts (http://googlecharts.rubyforge.org/) Can anyone site an example, how to use Google Chart in Ruby on Rails application ? Any input on this will be helpful.

Thanks, Bhargav

Create Javascript charts with one line of Ruby

Solution 2

You can see other options of charts http://railscasts.com/episodes/223-charts

It is very easy to implement highcharts. Please see http://www.highcharts.com/demo/

Solution 3

Check out the graphing section at Ruby Toolbox: https://www.ruby-toolbox.com/categories/graphing. As already mentioned by Raji, Railscasts has a cast about charts as well, rails cast 223. There is also a revised railscast, unfortunately behind a paywall, and a railscast about chart events in real time.

Solution 4

I've used flot charts (http://www.flotcharts.org/) in a rails application and they worked great. They needed very minimal configuration and displayed my time series json data (metrics data) intuitively. Definitely recommend checking flot charts out.
