PlotKit

Introduction

PlotKit is a Chart and Graph Plotting Library for Javascript. It has support for HTML Canvas and also SVG via Adobe SVG Viewer and native browser support.

PlotKit is fully documented and there is a quick tutorial to get you started.

PlotKit is a complete rewrite of CanvasGraph. It is better structured and supported.

Requirements

• MochiKit 1.3 or higher
• HTML Canvas: Safari 2+, Opera 9+, Firefox 1.5+, IE 6 (in emulated mode)
• SVG: Opera 9+, Firefox 1.5+ (see note), IE6 with Adobe SVG.

Note: Firefox 1.5+ on Linux and Windows is supported. Firefox 1.5+ on Mac does not draw labels in SVG, so you must set axisLabelUseDiv to true if you want to have maximum compatibility.
