Update on this: Robert noticed that JQPlot hasn't been updated in a
while, and does not seem to be an active project any longer. So on
further research he's decided to go with ChartJS instead.

Another strong recommendation was D3.js, but in the end we decided that
D3 would probably be overkill for us. All that we generate currently in
Mahara, is line graphs and bar graphs, whereas D3 is a powerful data
visualization tool. If we do expand the kinds of data visualizations
that we do, in the future, we could always switch to D3.

Title:
  Use newer and flashier graphing framework to generate graphs in Mahara

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  As discussed at 4th Developer Meeting - pChart may be a suitable
  framework for rendering graphs in Mahara, e.g. in the admin section,
  but we found out, that it+s not for commercial use, so it's not Open
  Source and cannot be used in Mahara.

  There is a suitable replacement: eZ Components - Graph component,
  because it generates images so the graphs do not require Javascript to
  be enabled.
