I agree 100% but there are situations where static graphs are required.  If
you read my OP you'll see that I have a requirement to create
printer-friendly pages and to generate PDFs of my reports -- including the
graphs.  How can I do this without having static images of my graphs?  Even
Corda Highwire (arguably the best PDF website PDF generator available)
doesn't support flash movies -- how could it possibly know which frame of
the flash movie to capture which would produce the desired "snapshot"?

While I understand that free and open source are very important to

We currently use a combination of 2 commercial products: FusionCharts and
Corda PopCharts.  I have no problem paying for superior technology.
