Fast way of graphing db statistics onto a webpage

Question

I currently have a MySQL database with a bunch of statistics about my data I record each day, a row/per day. These are numeric statistics, and I'm wondering what's the fastest way to retrieve the data and graph it as a line chart on a webpage?

I'm familiar with Java/Hibernate, but I'm open to any quick way to quickly retrieve the data and plop it onto a webpage. This can even been a product I sign up for, and I send them data through an API, and they give me back graphs for me (kinda like Excel almost).

In terms of displaying the charts I heard good things about

if I implement myself. Thoughts?

        }
    }],
    container: document.getElementById("timechart")
};

var tc = new TimeChart(settings);
