I am looking into ways to chart various things that I can log into a .txt/.csv file via PH.
I have found a free charting software package that seems very complete and it SHOULD work with PH (w/ the multi-editor), problem is, I am not a VB code person.
The software is called RMChart. Here is a working link:link (note: RMChart hompeage appears to be dead, use the mirror site).
The helpfile that comes with RMChart talks about how the charts could be generated...there seems like a lot of possible PH options....it is just over my software ability.
Please take a look and see what your think. The "designer utility" is shown below....

looks bad on my side:
-I can not open a serie of data line for file input
-the developpement has been halted for almost 2 years
-not sure it will work on win7
I'll keep looking for something else.
but it could have been the right thing...

Thanks for taking a look....
OK, here is ANOTHER charting solution I have been looking at called Open Flash Chart:
OFC
There is a version 1 and a version 2 of this software.
What seems interesting to me here is that you likley DO NOT have to turn on IIS (Internet Information Services). I was able to follow the tutorial and place the "open-flash-chart.swf" file into my PowerHome/web directory and use PowerHome's web server to serve the graph/chart files. For that matter, the charts could then also be displayed into PH's web center.
What has got me stuck is the ability to get a .csv or .txt file into a usable .JSON data file. There are ways to do this, but they are "over my head".
I later found that someone else took my suggestion of OFC and implmented it into CQC. Take a look over at the CQC forum, see post #79 in this thread, it is a recent tutorial for OFC.

Have any of you programming types had a chance to look at the "Open Flash Chart" (OFC)?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Are there any other charting methodologies that anyone is using with PowerHome?
I am trying to find a lightweight charting display type option that I can "implant" into my touchscreen GUI. A web based chart is one option...there might be others...I guess Excel would also work, but I sure wouldn't consider that "lightweight".

Have you looked at Google Charts? You can use this to embed charts into a web page using a simple URL statement. Pretty slick.

Finally created something reasonably capable, after years of wishing for this capability.

Major new update posted at link in the message above!
I'm hoping this will make things a LOT clearer, and allow you to create a multitude of different chart types to monitor your weather, local rainfall, STAT temps, or the phase of the moon. 
PS - I'll be adding some PH Macro examples to this in a few days to demonstrate how to use SQL and write data out to a CSV file.
