Objective-C Charting Framework - objective-c

I'm in urgent need of an Objective-C/Cocoa/Cocoa Touch framework to handle simple charting; pie chards, histograms etc.
The only thing that comes close is:
http://code.google.com/p/gchart-objc/
But it seems to be quite an early release and not maintained.
Has anyone created or used such a framework or library.

I use Core Plot. See this blog post for a tutorial.

I'll echo the suggestion of core-plot, and add some additional plotting references that may be of interest:

you can have a look at DSBarChart. It is a tiny library for creating Histograms.

this is also a legend lib for charts : https://github.com/danielgindi/Charts

What is the least technical method to use D (dlang) with Qt5

I am a beginner wanting to learn D. I would like to be able to create simple GUI applications with Qt5.
I have found tutorials for adapting Qt Designer .ui files to python scripts using PyQt5. Might there be a comparable method for using Qt5 with D?
Thank you.
I have never tried this myself, but you may start by having a look at the QtE5 project here.
Gtk+'s Glade says it supports dlang.
I am going to look into this further.
I added a tag for Gtk3.
(Sorry, I know the question was for Qt. It looks for now that I have converted to Gtk.)

Charting for Windows Store apps ( XAML C#)

I am looking for references or samples on charting options in Windows 8 XAML/C#.
I will also consider any third party options.
I need to provide a charting solution include bar graphs, pie charts and line graphs
You can take a took to the charts available in the free WinRT XAML Toolkit.
Try telerik

If that's looks expensive, you can build something yourself based on the blog article below:

I have been involved in the porting of Visiblox to WinRT. We currently have a beta release out, and will make a full release in the next couple of weeks.

Is there any document to work on Core animations and core graphics in iphone sdk?

I am new to core graphics in iphone can anyone suggest how to work on that and the process to go through it.Also can any one provide me a document with sample codes.
Thanks in advance.
Monish.
See Core Graphics section in iOS Reference Library - you can find Quartz 2D Programming guide, class references, and some samples there.
P.S. Same applies for CoreAnimation as well - there's whole relevant section in Apple's docs
A good place to start would be:
Introduction to Core Animation Programming Guide
There are a few examples there too.
What do you plan to use Core Animation for? If you are going to take a stab at make games Core Animation is a valid choice as long as performance is not critical. Here is a good article about it here.
Hope it helps
I am learning CoreData myself right now, and I found the most useful document to be the Locations App tutorial.
In this tutorial, you create an app called Locations which utilizes CoreData utilities and also teaches you how to do TableViewControllers.
Good luck!

Is there a non-Adobe equivalent of Axiis?

I want something like Axiis, but without using Flex or other Adobe products.
Have a look at the JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit. Also, maybe the gRaphaël charting library (built on top of Raphaël) can suit your needs.
Others:
Ajax.org
Google Chart API
flot
Style Chart
Bluff
JS Charts
jqPlot
pChart
ExtJS
Vizualize
TufteGraph
milkchart
DojoX Data Chart
jQChart
PlotKit
See whether one of these suits your needs best.
The closest I can think off the top off my head is Google Visualization API
Of course, AFAIK, this will only work for on-line applications. And is Google any less evil than Adobe is a question for you to decide :)
This is a pretty open question, as you havent specified any preference for any particular technology or language.
I do a lot of WPF/C# stuff so I immediately start looking on that stack. Assuming that this would be a suitable platform, then Visifire might be worth looking at... I originally found them here on codeplex.
There seem to be a ton of third party paid for components that can do similar things. Telerik has some visualization tools that may also be worth having a look at.
Is thre any specific scenario that you are looking at, or any specific language? I think we may be able to suggest better alternatives if that was provided.
You could try protovis (JavaScript), looks quite similar.
You can use jqChart - HTML5 jQuery Chart Plugin

Using a NSTreeController, NSOutlineView with Drag and Drop

I have found a Tutorial here
on how to implement drag and drop in an Outline View. The only problem I have is I don't know where to put the code from the tutorial. I would appreciate it greatly if you could tell me where I should put the code in a Xcode Project to make it work. Thanks!
You might want to check out this tutorial as well (there is also a part two which details unordered trees).
In particular, the linked tutorial contains an XCode projects that should get you started. Check out DragController.m to see where you put the code you referenced with your link.
Apple has released a samplecode explaining how to do it. http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/DragNDropOutlineView/Introduction/Intro.html
I found this much better then all the other samples i've found on the internet.
They're delegate/data source methods, so you put them into the outline view's delegate and data source. Usually this is your controller object, but it's up to you to hook up the connections in IB or programatically. I'd actually suggest learning how data source and delegate methods work before using bindings or Core Data, since bindings isn't meant to replace knowledge of lower level code (and you're going to run into a lot of problems with bindings until you have a solid understanding of the basics).
Also, keep in mind NSTreeController has improved a bit since 10.5, from what I've heard you should be able to get the real observed object without using private methods anymore.
