The Master Genealogist (see http://www.whollygenes.com/ ) is a very powerful program which has an appropriately powerful chart-making utility with the trademark Visual Chartform.  There is a full product description on the Wholly Genes site, a guided tour, and provision for a 30-day free trial.

However, for people who don't wish to purchase, and/or swap over to, a new program, WhollyGenes markets a product called Family Tree SuperTools for use with other family history software.  There is a full product description of FTST on the WhollyGenes site.

Among other features, FTST includes the chart-making facility Visual Chartform and therefore you can make charts from the data in your own program.

Here is the blurb from the WhollyGenes site about the charting facilities of FTST:

"Family Tree SuperTools includes an integrated copy of Visual Chartform™, the powerful chart-making utility. Create ancestor, descendant box, and hourglass charts in any orientation. Create fan charts from a small segment up to full-circle in any orientation.

Click-n-drag any object on a box chart, edit text/titles, rotate boxes, add additional images or boxes, draw additional connection lines, etc. You can modify the properties of objects individually or in groups and control their layering, grouping, etc. Editing features include any-level zoom, snap to grid, skip page breaks, and much more. "
