Hi, i want to make graphs for a project, what program will be ideal for it ? I want to make what appear to be complexer then basline onese (or so i feel)
My needs:
1)Bars (or colums)
2)labelling individual bars/colums with numbers (say xxx revenue) and years (numbers on top of the bar ,
3)Ability to show more then 1 types of data , like surplus capacity over 5 year in bars/colums in % , plus demand/production of product xyz in a 'trend like' dots in numbers like 1000s of barrelswhich again display numbers (example attached)
Using Libre, or google docs (spreadsheet) I could only make basic graphs, but couldnt label the data or bars, or show % or numbers on or around the bars.
Note: I will want to export that graph to jpg or some other photo format.And will appreciate if i dont have to learn alot to genearte graphs (need like 6~10 of those)
Thanks in advance.

thanks for suggestions, they are pretty nice, but I dont know PHP or C+++ etc, Is it that hard to create a bar graph with line and display the values ont that chart that i have to learn some language for it!?

For simple bar charts and line graphs with text, 'Gimp' is perfect. I have created a similar bar chart that looks the same to the Imageshack picture you have posted (unfortunately I dont have it on this machine to show you).
With Gimp you can create coloured rectangles and also use the 'guides' feature to measure in percent.
The problem is of course you need to be familiar with Gimp (and layers), but its really quite simple. Gimp comes in very handy for all types of graphic uses.
