Google provides an API to create charts. But it's hosted by Google. What alternative options are available to display charts on a web based application?
Highcharts is not open source but is free to use for non-commercial use.
I have paid the $80 to use it on commercial websites and client/managers are always very impressed with its capabilities. I think its well-worth the $$
Highcharts is open source, but it has a restrictive license for commercial use. It is free for non-commercial use (personal, non-profit) and it is also free during development, even commercial apps.
I also highly recommend. It's a pleasure to work with. Sites using it include MixPanel if you want to see it in action.

For server-side chart generation, I tend to use matplotlib (semi-recently changed from gnuplot).
