I have a free and open source tool named RPGChartEngine (see
http://mowyourlawn.com) that could be interfaced with to produce the desired
results. Behind the scenes I am interfacing with the open source
www.jfree.org product. Instead of going through RPG to get to the Java
(which would be the case with RPGChartEngine) it would be better (maybe) to
go direct to Java from PHP. See the below documentation on how to do such a
thing:
http://us2.php.net/java
Or the best approach would be to keep it all in PHP. Here's one of many
products (free for base version):

Subject: Using PHP on iSeries to generate Graphics/Charts to be used in main
website.
Dear All,
We have a need and a wish to incorporate graphics/charts based on iSeries
data into our iSeries websites.
We think of using PHP for that and more specifically PHP_DG2 to generate the
graphics.
We however have no experience with PHP on the iSeries.
We know that PHP Zend is available as PASE solution on the iSeries but we
are not sure if we can also use PHP_DG2 or another graphic generator on the
iSeries.
Before going seriously on this road, does someone has experience with this
on the iSeries and can say, yes/no/ be aware for/this works best.
By the way 'All the best for the rest of this year'.
Kind regards,
Eduard Sluis.
