PHP Graphing Libraries
 

I've demanded that Ben add a graph to one of his WOOF tools. A quick web search turned up about a billion PHP graphing libraries. Which one should I make him use for this? Bonus points if it's obtuse and makes him pull his hair out right before the baby comes; should be good prep work for him.

Graphing tool? For what, change tracking?

No, power-rating fluctuations week-to-week. My WOOF team dropped like a rock, then started winning once all my good players got hurt. I'm curious to see what the season progression has been for my team. So a simple point-to-point line graph that shows the ups and downs of my team. Once that's in place, I can urge him to put things like opponent and score along with the week along the bottom.

:rant:

By the way, it is also very important that you watch "Bill Cosby: Himself" over the next week or so. I now have one that is 6 and one that is almost 4, and the bath night scene hits SO close to home some nights.

I use the google charts API. There are actually quite a few php libraries out there just for it, but I prefer to just build the querystring myself. I have also used PHP SWF Charts. They look pretty cool, but I don't like having to use flash to view them.

It's for your own good. Get yourself used to unreasonable sleep deprivation now, I say.

I think he's relatively used to it already ;).

I've implemented the PHP SWF Charts mentioned above. They are quite easy to implement and look really good.

Personally, I'd love to see in graphical form the constant disparity of my roster rating and overall power rating. That may break the library.

Like this?

Taking this off on a bit more of a tangent, might be interesting to see if Ben's Roster rating could take into account guys that are Out at that time.

That is so depressing. Thanks :)
