Hi All,
I'm in the midst of a Rails application that produces line,bar, and pie charts for constantly accumulated data. That said, I'm looking for some quality ways in which to deal with presenting the large amounts of data while keeping the graphs accurate and up to date. Obviously the simple answer is to build and run a new query each and every time a chart is accessed. However, my gut tells me that there are frameworks/libraries, etc. that can manage this -- perhaps in the background. Any thoughts?
For the record, I am using XMLSWF charts (http://www.maani.us/ xml_charts/).
Best.
