title: Charts in django Web Applications
body: <p>I want to Embed a chart in a Web Application developed using django.</p>
  
  <p>I have come across <a href="http://code.google.com/p/google-chartwrapper/" rel="noreferrer">Google charts API</a>, <a href="http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Charts" rel="noreferrer">ReportLab</a>, <a href="http://home.gna.org/pychart/" rel="noreferrer">PyChart</a>, <a href="http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/" rel="noreferrer">MatPlotLib</a> and <a href="http://www.advsofteng.com/?gid=misc&amp;gclid=CJLaibjeiJkCFQMwpAodXkETng" rel="noreferrer">ChartDirector</a></p>
  
  <p>I want to do it in the server side rather than send the AJAX request to Google chart APIs, as I also want to embed the chart into the PDF.</p>
  
  <p>Which is the best option to use, and what are the relative merits and demerits of one over the other.</p>
