Google Analytics-like Info-Images!

[SpicyDuck]

I've started doing a mock-up of a Project I recently started, and I'm stuck with one particular section; I need something quite specific and I have no idea where to start.

I need something like the Images Google use on their Analytics site, which can be auto-generated/refreshed when new information is added to the Database. I guess what I need is to make customised and interactive Graphs

I'm not quite sure how I'm going to go about this if I'm honest, and I can't share exactly what I'm trying to do, for fear of someone more uber doing it before me.

If any of that makes sense, I'd appreciate being put on the right path.

The ones I've used are flot and plot kit:

Hope that's what you mean

Edit: If you create these and add an Ajax server push, you can update all clients at once when new data is added server side.
Oh and there's googles own one, but that requires you to have a net connection (http://code.google.com/apis/chart/)

Ohhh, you da man! Thank you very much.

It looks like it might be a little tricky though to get it working (and looking) just how I want it to. I'll give it a go, though.

Edit: The problem is that I'm not after a Chart as such, but it's the same thing (showing data with graphics). The main problem I can see so far is customising the canvas/background of the chart in order to show the data accurately. That's the main issue now.
