I need to do a presentation of a product with charts (Pie and Bar charts).

I use LibreOffice for documentation, but charts are not very beautiful.

Someone could recommend any software to generate charts ?

It's very important that charts will be beautiful, with 3D effect, gradients, etc.

Thanks

    You know that you can customise the charts, change colours, use 3D, use gradients and redefine nearly everything? Jan 21, 2012 at 22:02

I recently discovered gnuplot is not as difficult as I thought. New version can output in HTML5. As per piecharts try circles. http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo_4.4/circles.html

Not sure about the 3D effects but you can output it as an SVG and have a play around with an vector graphics editor like inkscape.

Make sure you tried mathgl too. It's specifically made for nice 3D charts.

R has very good charting capabilities (click here for a gallery of examples with sources).

It is free and installable from the repositories. The main package is r-base, several additional packages are also available.

Note that R is not a spreadsheet. It is a programming environment -- a bit of work is necessary to obtain what you want. There are, however, several tutorials (this and this for pies).
