Expecting Rain

Gruff is a very simple graphing library for Ruby. It creates very simple, clean graphs with very little coding. I've been searching for something like this for quite sometime now.

Here is a sample graph of the hours per week logged on a project I'm working on along with 2 other employees:

Note: Gruff is easy to install, but the required dependancies were quite tricky. I was warned on the dependancies websites that it wasn't easy, but being cocky as I am, I went ahead and ignored them and tried to figure it out myself. Many hours later, I found myself reading the instructsions found at http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-osx.html which then worked. One problem I ran into however was that I had to uninstall what I had already tried by running "make uninstall" from the various libraries I already tried to install :)
