Recommendations for a charting software

i want to draw organization charts from database records.

I want to overlay nodes if they meet certain criteria. while there are many software which could draw an organization charts, i need one which can allow for overlapping nodes.

i have tried to use jqChart but it cannot overlap nodes.

D3.js can totally do this. The "downside" to it being that it can do a lot, which is why the learning curve is a bit steep. Just check out the examples. I was using chart.js for a while, which offers some neat Canvas charts, but it's really basic. So, when we needed more custom behaviour, I switched to D3. If you like it, just look up a bar chart tutorial to get you started and see how far it takes you.

Oh, and it's not based on jQuery, it has its own selectors but you might be able to use jQuery selectors as well.
