Charts with Javascript: even more ways to kill Flash




// Javascript-powered chart solutions is a favorite topic of mine, so here are a few more options for you- NVD3 (http://nvd3.org/) builds upon the powerful D3 library and currently supports 11 different interactive chart types

- Rickshaw (http://code.shutterstock.com/rickshaw/) also built on D3, can be used for live-data time graphs with 4 customisable chart types

_ gRaphaël (http://g.raphaeljs.com/) is based on Raphaël and has 4 different chart types including a dot chart

- YUI charts (http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/charts/) is part of the YUI library and supports 7 chart types

- Polychart.js (http://polychartjs.com/) has 5 chart types which can be combined.

Depending on your situation and needs any of this could work, but surely NVD3 stands out. For more on the topic, see here http://bit.ly/g-chart

  2. Thank you for this! I had seen a previous version that was producing images but it seems that they have upgraded to some partially interactive version
