  • Ajay_LCJS on 2021-08-16 06:39:44

    Thanks for this great list! I think you should also add LightningChartJS to that list LightningChart JS lightningchart.com LightningChart JS is a WebGL-based, cross-platform charting library that has been developed for delivering an outstanding performance. Performance is up to 10M+ of data points in real-time.In recent line chart comparison tests, none of the competitors got even close to LightningChart performance level. In Dashboard cell resizing LC is an industry superlative: Rendering dozens or even 100+ charts simultaneously. LightningChart JS comes with an unmatched execution performance. GPU acceleration & WebGL rendering ensure that your device’s graphics processor is utilized efficiently, which results in high refresh rates and smooth animations. This charting library combines incredible speed with sturdy load capacity.

    Many bugs, not reliable, and expensive. Actualy relies on Raphael ... so use Raphael direclty !

  • mbenitez01 on 2017-09-29 13:06:31

    Can't believe you left out 'chartist' !! this 11k package is awesome, specially for embed into the iot universe (in which I develop) github.io/...

  • Air Serenity on 2016-08-25 10:26:17

    Thanks, very useful! Still, one criteria is missing: the ability to UPDATE a graph smoothly instead of redrawing it completly (when data change, for minute-updated data, etc.) Among free tools, I only found Google Charts able to do it (because it uses a class to host data -and not pure JSON table- and a class to draw graphs, and they are tightly linked)

  • Ibrahim Dauda on 2016-07-28 12:03:15

    Nice work here! Also add jchartfx to the list.

  • Sacred on 2015-05-20 07:00:08

    Reverted those manually.

  • Sacred on 2015-05-20 06:44:15

    I've done some terrible things (removing some libraries from comparison table) thinking that my modifications are only affecting my own dashboard. Now i can't find the option to revert my changes. Can anyone help me?

  • palesilent on 2015-04-29 05:23:45

    I would vote for VanCharts. But it's not in the list. Home:vancharts.com/... Introduction:vancharts.com/...

  • Anv on 2015-03-09 18:20:23

    Also try PlusCharts ( www.pluscharts.com ) which is a free light-weight Javascript Charting library. It is based on the popular RaphaelJS library.

    is any chart lib work offline - after downloaded? eg in an offline mobile web/hybrid app?

  • Meera Srinivasan on 2014-12-29 14:18:14

    Hi, can you elaborate on data base compatibility. For e.g. can any or all of these pick data from mysql. Are these php scripts

  • Ken on 2014-11-25 19:32:05

    I would like to vote for KoolChart, www.koolchart.com , but it's not in the list

  • Hola on 2014-11-03 06:37:16

    I use FusionCharts and D3. Never needed any other library for my requirements.

  • Serge Ryadkow on 2014-05-07 16:10:05

    Look jsgadget.ru/... but the site is in Russian

  • MungMoon on 2013-09-03 09:34:17

    Shield UI is a powerful and feature-rich JavaScript library. It also provides server-side components for ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC and Java Apache Wicket. Check the demos at: shieldui.com Company website: shieldui.com

    We are specifically looking for solutions for tablets that don't support Flash. Any insights regarding A vs B for tablets specifically would be most welcome. rlynch AT zacks DOT com
