Are there Lisp packages available for rendering line graphs, bar
charts, pie graphs, etc. from a list of data points?  I checked around
on CLiki and Google, but didn't come up with anything.  GDChart seems
like it would do the job, but I didn't find any Lisp bindings for it.

Thanks,
Bill

As far as Lisp libraries, all I see is this
http://www.cl-user.net/asp/libs/CL-GD
which probably doesn't match your needs very well.

I would probably use gnuplot. It is a standalone program that is easily
scriptable. From inside a Lisp program, you can generate gnuplot script
files and run gnuplot. Running gnuplot isn't something you can do with
the ANSI CL standard, but I expect that every implementation supports
it.
www.gnuplot.info

Even simpler, you could run your Lisp code and gnuplot in a pipeline,
so that your Lisp code need only send gnuplot commands to stdout. Of
course, this only works if you don't need stdout for something else...

Not exactly what you want, but...I sometimes have Lisp display bar
charts written in Java.  I use Allegro CL's JLinker, but there are many
other Lisp-Java function interfaces out there.  My code is at
http://www.geocities.com/mmcconnell17704/math.html.

Which Lisp implementation are you using?

The only ones I know of that might come close to what you want are the
2-D plotting abilities written for the Garnet toolkit a while back (now
in the cvs tree on sourceforge) and Scigraph which is part of McCLIM.
I think Scigraph is going to be more extensive in terms of features.
Here's a screenshot:

Maybe this, but I don't know if it even works any more?

CL-PDF has some charting utilities built in. You might also look at
