especially for treelike charts:

www.graphviz.org

Here

http://webdot.graphviz.org/webdot/demo.html

are some awesome examples in various formats, generated by

http://webdot.graphviz.org/webdot/

The SVG examples can be viewd with:
Win:
   http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/
Lin etc. (any Java runninf platform):
   http://xml.apache.org/batik/

John Ellson, the creator of WebDot, told me Ruby bindings could be 
written by anyone with C skills. (AFAIK, tere's already a TCL and Perl 
lib for WebDot/GraphViz)

All you C wizards out there, what do you think?
