			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was the time of the month again. I need to scrape some data off a webpage for my pet project.</p>
<p>With almost 1 year worth of data, it&#8217;s time to do some work on it and perhaps give some useful results for people and of course for myself.</p>
<p>I started to search for a library to perform graphing, I initially thought it would be easy to find a decent open source library. To my dismay not much. Maybe i&#8217;m using a wrong query. A few queries later, here are some of the better libraries that I manged to find</p>
