Can anyone recommend a free or cheap program for the creation of graphs? Pie, Bar and line?

Thanks

The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

Open office is great. It's just like Microsoft Office, except that it doesn't suck, and it's free to boot.

Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.

Just think it through.
It's not hard to do.

I really hate to be a pain but it will be used to add content to the site later...

Is is possible to save a graph made in open office (I learned how to do that today) in a way that it can be downloaded in to photobucket or some similar service?

I'm trying to find a way to take data, put it in graph form (people are more likely to believe or grasp graphs I've noticed :) and then put it into a post, and not just be dependent upon graphs others have posted.

Thanks for any support that can be given.

Go into paperport calc and export it as a PDF.

Image

test one complete... next to see if I can do it in a way that it is legible...

I made a copy and pasted it into GIMP... not the easiest way to get a job done but I think (with some practice) I can make it work.

Thanks

I take a screenshot, paste the result into IrfanView, save as .jpg, upload to ImageShack. Seems to work.

Bit of a learning curve getting graphs to show what you want though.
