Regarding the Google Charting API that was mentioned, you can take 
simpler route and avoid the need to embed a WebView by just querying 
for a chart and loading the result into an NSImage.

The idea comes from Philippe Mougin, and can be viewed at: <http://pmougin.wordpress.com/2007/12/10/google-chart-api-fun-with-cocoa-and-f-script/

very easy to see the general Cocoa approach.
