I am writing an application that could seriously benefit from a good
graphing API. Of course, the simplest solution to this would be if
Apple opened up GraphKit for Cocoa developers. Sadly, that seems not
to be in the near future, so I'm looking at alternatives.
While there are some graphing frameworks out there, most of them seem
incomplete and/or without a great deal of ongoing development. So, my
thought was that Google's relatively new Charts API would be a great
way to plug this hole for the time being. Simple URL calls return PNG
images that could then be cached.
Other than the obvious need for an internet connection, can anyone see
any reason this can't work as a viable solution to the graphing
problem in Cocoa?
