Creating graphs

[DannyT]

I have a windows app that im developing in vb.net running on an oracle9i db.

I have some procedures that return data based on values input by the user, I now need to display the results of these procedures in graphs, I have never done anything like this so anyone that can point me in the right direction is much appreciated.

I have attached a spreadsheet showing the exact graphs id like to recreate and some dummy source data.

Cheers,

Dan

HI,

You wanna generate graphs in an Excel spreadsheet directly? or you want make graphs as your excel example show (graphically)

Try here, maybe you can find something usefull

Here is in C#, but you can use the libraries and is just invoke the methods

If you dont mind paying for a graphics package, we use GigaSoft ProEssentials (http://www.gigasoft.com) here at work. It is extremely powerful, but relatively inexpensive for a Visual Studio tool ($149.00 for the Lite edition, which is good enough for most uses). We use the Standard edition, which gets a little more pricey ($399.00). You can download a free trial edition that simply places an evaluation message in the middle of the graph. Otherwise, it is fully functional.
