Data Visualization

Question

I need a framework for generating charts for data visualization. I picked up Processing www.processing.org/ but at the moment i can not run that in the "headless" mode from a web server. Is there any other candidate for this domain? What are the options if you need more chart type than what is supported by out-of-the-box solutions
