I'm wondering if there was a reason why you decided to create a new project instead of working with Open Flash Charts API?
http://drupal.org/projects/open_flash_chart_api

It seems this is a duplicated effort.

Well, the author of Open Flash Chart API has clearly stated on the project page that:

6.x-2 and 5.x-2 branches use Open Flash Chart v1.
The 7.x-1 branch will use Open Flash Chart v2.

Which means that there will not be 6.x module that supports Open Flash Chart 2. However, I have to use Open Flash Chart 2 on Drupal 6 for my project. So there is no other choice but to create a new module for that and I think it would be nice to share it to the Drupal community.

If this is a duplicated effort, what are your suggestions in this situation? (The Open Flash Chart API author doesn't want to use Open Flash Chart 2 in 6.x and 5.x branches)

I'm sure jvandervort would be happy to discuss it with you. As the original author of the module I'd be happy to facilitate that. Looking at your code there is a lot to like with the way you approached the problem. Truth be told it may be in the best interest of both projects to stop development on open flash chart api with version 1 of Open flash chart and move to yours with version 2. If that happens then I would suggest that you remove the 2 in the name of the module. Just so it's more generic. I think your module space ofc_api is a much nicer space than my long one. If you like this idea or you would like to discuss it more you can reply to a post I started here: http://drupal.org/node/444464

I really hope we can collaborate somehow.

Open Flash Chart 2 API (ofc_api) is now merged with Open Flash Chart API (open_flash_chart_api) as version 6.x-3.x.

Thanks to @redndahead and @jvandervort for making this process really smooth :)
