ProtoChart: Prototype + Canvas = Pretty Charts
July 28th, 2008 | Published in Javascript, Projects, ProtoChart, Prototype | 30 Comments
Update: Code and more information can be found here.
We finally have a bit stable version of our new charting library. ProtoChart aims to provide a nice library to draw:
- Line Chart
- Bar Chart
- Pie Chart
- Curve Chart
- Mix Chart
- Area Chart
General set of features:
- Multiple data series on same graph
- Legend support
- Customizable grid, grid border, background
- Customizable axis-tick values (both x and y)
We are excited to release the code as open source. The motivation is very much drawn from other great charting libraries such as PlotKit, Flot and Flotr. These are some excellent libraries with a lot of neat features. We hope to grow ProtoChart to the same level as them.
For now you can check out our quick demo which should let you play with generic features.
So what’s next? We will continue to improve on this library as we go and we welcome your reviews, views and opinions. We will shortly release the source code and documentation soon.

look at your code :)))
packer is not good vay to securing your code.
[admin: we will post the code as opensource with documentation by tomorrow. We used packer to reduce the final file size and not to hide our code]

Hi,
Good idea, but I tried your demo page with a IE6 browser and it resulted in an error on page. No display of charts on the demo page.
Looking forward to a working version.
Cheers,
Onno

Thanks

Interesting.
I took a look at the demo page, and liked what I saw. Will there be any ability similar to YUIs Charts interface, to pull data from a table, and graph that?

Glen, we will add support for that later on.

Как обычно, афтар оригинально накропал.

В целом, афтар недурно накропал.
