graphs and charts on the iPhone

Question

My client has requested data to be presented in a graphical format on the iPhone (a pie chart or something similar). I am wondering how others have handled this - A.) deliver the raw data to the phone and somehow build the chart on the phone, or B.) have the back-end services build the chart and deliver it (png format) to the phone?

Thanks for any advice.

Answer 1

Check out Core Plot.

Another alternative is to use the Google ChartAPI:
