    Anyone know some magic software that will make pretty pie graphs/charts from Excel or CSV files?
    Can OpenOffice do this?

    SigmaPlot and Origin - both are hideously expensive.

    They both look like overkill for what I want to do. All I want is something to create a nice looking 3D pie from an Excel doc.

    I worked out how to create crappy 2D pies in OO.
    Insert > Object > Chart (who'd have guessed it!)

    But they're not exactly pretty... :(

    EDIT...
    I just downloaded and tried out OO 2.3. It does 3D graphs. Open source, and good enough for what I need to do. Problem solved!
