I downloaded the Drupal found at http://drupal.org/project/charts. I noticed it was a little thin on the documentation so I went through the code and put together some notes for those who might need a little more instructions on how to use it. I thought it would be useful to others. It's a good way to get graphs as content in your website.
There's another animated chart module at http://drupal.org/project/swfcharts but it hasn't been updated for Drupal 6 yet.
