I have upgraded from drupal 6 to drupal 7 and for me, everythiing is better in drupal 7 until I hit this problem.
I have to create and show graphs to users depending on whatever the data they have stored on the site, I mean I have collected the data and stored on a Mysql database. now, I have to fetch these data from Mysql database and display it as a neat graph.
In drupal 6, making such dynamic graph is a cake walk..! I used Charts and graphs module with "open flash chart" to create some very interactive and pretty graphs. But it does not has a drupal 7 version..!
Then I searched for one that could work in D7 and found charts . It looked very promising and has a drupal 7 version too. So I tried to install it.. it simply doesn't work..! I found a patch, but still no luck. Even if I get it to work, it will only work with google charts and not with open flash charts or fusion charts because it requires those charts to be installed by us and open flash charts or fusion charts, do not have a D7 version..!! ( FYI, the same problem was there in even D6, when installed everything even open flash chart api, it said "no chart plugin installed" and not even a single line of documentation is provided regarding how to install these plugins and make other charts work. hence I think its out of the picture. )
So what can I do now..?? How can I create graphs..? what can I use..??

Well, since I didn't find any graphs module, I tried using an external php charting library. I tried using pchart with my drupal 7 site. I configured everything without any errors or warnings only to get a bizarre output...!! I have explained everything in detail along with the code I have used to create the graph in this question. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Unusual output while using pchart in Drupal 7
thanks in advance
