Beautiful Graphs and Charts--Free!

The National Center for Education Statistics brings us Create A Graph.  Enter the kind of graph/chart you want, the data, fonts, colors, and save it as many different formats (PDF, SVG, PNG, JPG, EMF, or EPS).  This thing is free, puts out better-looking graphs and charts than Word or Excel, and is easier to use.  Need I say more?  This is definitely what I'm using for my reports from now on.

Very true, and I don't think it allows data uploading. Most of my charts/graphs are small enough that entering 6-20 cells worth of info is no big deal...but for something larger, yes, that would be a major hassle.

This is fabulous. The only thing that could possibly be better (and I haven't explored all its features) is to allow uploading of data. Not having to re-key data is one of the reasons FOR using Excel graphs (horrible though they may be). I'd love to know of a good graphing plug-in for Excel or Access.
