KChart is an application for visualizing numerical data. It has many different chart types available like bar graphs, line plots, pie charts, ring charts and more.

KChart is a KOffice component and is very well integrated with KSpread to allow visualization of spreadsheet data. But it is also possible to use KChart as a standalone application or integrate it in other KOffice components.
