amCharts provides free dynamic pie, line, and bar charts

Today I received notification about some new Flash charts called amCharts.
You can download and use these charts for free.
The only limitation of the free version is that a small link to the web site will be displayed in the top left corner of your charts.

You can choose amongst 3 different animated chart styles:

Pie and Donut chart
Your pies can easily become donuts. They can be 2D/3D and you can set desired angle and height. When you click on a pie slices or legend entries, the slices can slide out/in.

Line and Area chart
The user of this line chart can zoom into the desired area of the line chart! You also can hide/show graphs and turn on/off balloon tips indicating the value of the point. You can add custom bullets, links and descriptions on your points. You can have two Y axes – this is very comfortable if you want to display data which differs a lot.

Column and Bar chart
It is only one tool, but has all column/bar features you might need – it can be clustered, stacked and 100% stacked, may be 2D or 3D. Like in the line chart, you can add links and descriptions to bars/columns. You can switch from Bar chart to Column chart just by changing one variable.

These charts read data and settings from XML or CSV files. That means that they are platform independent. Data and settings files are separate – you can have a designer work with the settings file, meanwhile a programmer can work on generating data file in XML or CSV. And you can be sure that they will not interrupt each other. And even more – you can pass data to charts directly from your html.
