Use Google Chart API for your web apps
Google Chart API is a tool added to Google Spreadsheets which allows you to build a URL that will dynamically create a chart for you. Before the public release this service was used internally for Google Finance, Google Video, and beyond. Now, anyone can use it!
With Google Chart API you can create more types of charts: columns, bars, lines, pie, scatter, add labels and a legend. Just select the columns you want to plot and click on the new chart icon. After inserting the chart in the spreadsheet, you can save it as a PNG image or edit it.
The charts are rendered as SVG in Firefox/Opera and VML in Internet Explorer, so they don't require plug-ins. As usually, Opera is not officially supported, so you'll find things that don't work as expected.
Here are some sample charts:
Line Chart
Bar Charts
Pie Charts
Venn Diagrams
Scatter
Solid Fill
Linear Gradient
Linear Stripes
Legend
Multiple Axis Labels
Fill Area
And there are many more options available.
