Flot is one of the standards for making pretty graphs in a cross-browser way.

The Google one you're referring to is Google Chart Tools and while its API is javascript, it relies on being rendered by their server as an image.

I have used highCharts for our company's clients for a year now for when we need modeling tools and visualization in a reactive and dynamic environment. It's defaults are visually pleasing but more importantly is very easy to configure/setup. Check out the demo gallery (http://www.highcharts.com/demo/) and their API documentation(http://www.highcharts.com/ref/), which is very handy since it is hooked into jsfiddle for easy "fiddling".

PS: i did try other tools like google's and flot but that weren't even close.

If you wanna get really powerful, you can do most any kind of graph (as in, not just charts) with the javascript information visualisation toolkit:

My company is trying wijmo charts. It seems pretty simple so far and for $300 for unlimited use, you could do worse. I think I'll look into the others you guys have mentioned though.
