Hey Ben,
Totally understandable - you obviously already put a huge amount of time into FormTools, even helping people get it installed (I sent you an e-mail by the way, heh heh).
Did you know that Google has two different charts APIs? I just stumbled upon them this morning.
The first is called Google Chart API, and it simply generates a PNG chart based on the URL in the <img> "src" parameter. It looks pretty easy to implement - http://code.google.com/apis/chart/
The second is the Google Visualization API, which is a lot more robust and feature-rich. You access it via javascript, and it generates charts based on images, SVG, flash, or other methods. http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/
Thanks again for all of your help and great work.
