Generating Perl graphs with GD::Graph (OSDN) [LWN.net]

Derek Fountain explains how to generate data graphs in Perl with GD::Graph. "Perl's GD::Graph module is a tool that allows a software developer to quickly and easily generate graphical representations of data. Originally written by Martien Verbruggen in 1995, the package has matured into a very flexible and popular tool. It is ideally suited to any situation where a dynamic data set, from a database or elsewhere, needs to be fetched and represented on the fly. It is widely used in corporate intranets, where many a webmaster has used it to generate graphs that show data in exactly the format management likes."
