charting libraries for Codeigniter 1.7.2

Question

I need a good charting library for my project which is done using Codeiginter. i have searched for libraries found a one called pinaci, but it states that it is for 1.4 and 1.5, can we use it with 1.7.2? can you guys suggest me a good one i can use, which you have used and have past experience?

regards, Rangana

If your looking for something really simple, I'd recommend using the Google Chart API (no library required!) and there's even a gChart helper available if your going to be using charts a lot.

The CI Charts library section is pretty small. People have gotten Panaci to work in CI 1.7. The Open Flash Chart is pretty, but it's in flash (kinda lame). And TeeChart is probably overkill.
