I have tried using version 1.3 of this plugin.
The documentation supplied with this plug-in is sub-standard. A previous reviewer has noted syntax errors in the example code, the Author has acknowledged the mistake, yet the tutorial documentation still hasnt been rectified.
I cannot for the life of me produce any graphs with this plugin no matter how many time I check syntax and despite enabling the plugin in the back-end and in the options.
I cant even find any demos or examples of the graphs this plugin can produce.
This plugin needs a lot more work done to it. It needs better documentation and/or example code.

This plugin is no longer under active development. I will however update the docs.
If you would like to pay for a demo sever, i'm happy. =P
First let me begin with the tutorial. It starts with:
The basic syntax for a graph is as follows:
{graph="type:1;"}{bar="barsize:50%"}{/graph}
this should be:
{graph="type:1;"}{bar="barsize:50%;"}{/graph}
Note the ; after the barsize. I guess this will help most users to get it up and running.
I must say the plugin works quite nice though I was hoping for a more functional plugin that gets data out of the SQL database. For the general use it is a nice and lean plugin that does the job right.

Whoops!
Sorry about that!
Thanks.
I was really hoping this would work for my site, and I am sure it will be a fine plugin someday, but the documentation leaves something to be desired. I tried a few different ways of inserting the code into my article, but nothing worked. Even the provided sample code produced no output. Please update the help file with more usage info.

Did you make sure that the plugin was enabled in the joomla backend? You also have to make sure that it is enabled in the options...
