Any good books on graphing/charting/visualization?
samratjp: I had a similar situation except that I wasn't as smart as you to consider books in the first place.But, I did use some really good tools. I highly recommend using Prefuse (yes, it's java but it ships with great examples and it's open source). If you like prefuse, then try flare (actionscript based). As far I know, prefuse supports querying from tables (my data backend was postgres). Here's prefuse: http://prefuse.org/ Here's flare:http://flare.prefuse.org/And for a dash of inspiration and more ideas: http://www.visualcomplexity.com/vc/
