If you do not want to spoil your entire vacation in a binary world to create eye-catching animated charts, FusionCharts is just your kind of thing. It lets you create animated and interactive charts at the Herculean effort of a few mouse clicks. Impress your designer, impress your boss, impress your colleagues....and enjoy the vacation as well.

If you're coming across FusionCharts for the first time, continue reading this para. FusionCharts is a set of files (precisely Adobe SWF files) that take in XML data to render animated charts. XML stands for Extensible Markup Language and is a structured language for data interchange. You do not need to worry about XML (or any of its side effects), as we'll help you keep a safe distance between yourself and this weirdy-XML-thingy.

So, if you're already excited about the notion of creating dynamic and interactive charts without getting into deep technical mess, just launch the FusionCharts GUI. Now, feed in your data, copy-paste the generated code, and you're done - literally, in minutes. This nifty utility helps you generate animated charts from your existing data in tables, spreadsheets, HTML files, DOC files, CSV files, TSV files (just keep the names coming...) - and all with just a few clicks. The utility does all the hard work for you and generates all the necessary code, which you can copy, paste, run and relish! Your kind of thing, is it?

Maintaining and updating the charts is as painless as generating them. If you ever need to change the data for the chart, either directly edit the chart data XML file or fire up the GUI again to edit the same. Post editing, just publish the XML file and you're done. The charts will automatically update themselves, without need for any further intervention.
