Dependencies | None | jQuery Comes with unicorn, capable and robust, simple | jQuery Looks as good as Flot (somewhat better), not much support, pluggable but no plugins. Too young. | jQuery, Raphaël Not exactly sexy. Needs Rapheal and annotations. No data labels, exporting and missing several chart types | None | underscore.js, beam.js No donut chart. Buzzzz. But seems very capable. | jQuery,Raphaël Charts seem kind of dinky. REasonable alternative. | d3.js and Aight for IE8 support - VERY cool but based on D3, no IE8 and prior. | Raphaël | jQuery or MooTools or YUI3 | Raphaël | None | None outside of the Dojo Toolkit - VERY nice but heavy for our needs | https://github.com/shawnbot/aight for partial IE8 compatibility. No dependencies needed for other browsers supported | None | d3.js | jQuery | none | None | jQuery 1.9+ | None | None | none | |||||||||||||||
