I am designing software that needs to draw several different kinds of charts–bar charts, pie charts, flow charts/graphs, charts over time. I am looking for resources related to both the programming side of the issue as well as the UI/display side. Books, online resources would all be helpful. Thanks.

The grammar of graphics: book from the guy that wrote the plotting lib of spss. Somewhat theoretical, but nice xml treatment… gives you the graph xml schema for spss.
But I’m sure there are quite a few others that other people will know.
