Quick Link: Plotr javascript graphing library

February 2^nd, 2007

A beautiful piece of work! Bas Wenneker has written Plotr, a charting engine in Prototype that uses canvas. Now if only IE would support SVG, my world would be complete (until I found something else to complain about). The library is released under a BSD license, and requires prototype to run.

The rendered graphs are not bitmap graphics (no GIFs or PNGs here), but rather plotted using SVG or Explorer Canvas, as is appropriate. And if I may say so, the output is sexy as hell.

Pretty cool.

I hope more of these things were cerated using SVG in order to push IE to develop SVG native support!!

The Adobe patch works damn well though.

Yeah, I couldn’t agree more. I had actually thought I’d build something similar to this myself when I first heard of Explorer Canvas - but this implementation is very nice indeed.

"output is sexy as hell"...?
