I have upgraded from drupal 6 to drupal 7 and for me, everythiing is better in drupal 7 until I hit this problem.

I have to create and show graphs to users depending on whatever the data they have stored on the site, I mean I have collected the data and stored on a Mysql database. now, I have to fetch these data from Mysql database and display it as a neat graph.

In drupal 6, making such dynamic graph is a cake walk..! I used Charts and graphs module with "open flash chart" to create some very interactive and pretty graphs. But it does not has a drupal 7 version..!

Then I searched for one that could work in D7 and found charts . It looked very promising and has a drupal 7 version too. So I tried to install it.. it simply doesn't work..! I found a patch, but still no luck. Even if I get it to work, it will only work with google charts and not with open flash charts or fusion charts because it requires those charts to be installed by us and open flash charts or fusion charts, do not have a D7 version..!! ( FYI, the same problem was there in even D6, when installed everything even open flash chart api, it said "no chart plugin installed" and not even a single line of documentation is provided regarding how to install these plugins and make other charts work. hence I think its out of the picture. )

So what can I do now..?? How can I create graphs..? what can I use..?? Or is there a way to create these dynamic graphs in drupal 7 that I dont know about..??

The only module i know of with an official d7 release is http://drupal.org/project/chart. It works great, but also only handles google charts.

EDIT:
And please don't post duplicate threads (it's also not a development question), I've deleted the dupe. Thanks.

Thanks,
But, since I want to use open flash chart, Charts module wouldn't work for me..! Is there any other way to create dynamic graphs in drupal 7..??

as with any functionality, if there's not an existing module then it would be custom code.

Maybe you should try http://drupal.org/project/forena in combination with SVG Graph ?

Is this question is still relevant? I think it is ... If you agree, consider checking out the brand new Comparison of charting modules that I created recently.

If in the mean time you've discovered other charting solutions that might fit in the comparison, please let me know (or add it to the comparison).

@WorldFallz: Thanks for the kudos. It appears that you're the maintainer of the "Download Count" module . I just checked it out, seems interesting! I also created an issue for it, at https://www.drupal.org/node/2367869
