I开发者_Go百科mprove this question

I'm looking for a nice graphing library for JavaScript that can handle the following types of graphs:

• Line Graphs
• Histograms
• Scatterplots
• Motion Charts

I've tried Google's Chart Tools but they don't seem to have a nice histogram chart (nor can I get their motion chart to work properly, even served off my Apache web server).

I'm hoping that there's a decent library out there that can support all of these, however if I must, I may include 2 different libraries (looking at Google Chart Tools, gRafael, flotr, and rgraph right now - none of which seem to include ALL of the requirements I have).

I'm surprised no one has mentioned JQPlot yet. I'm not entirely sure it will do everything you need, but it's a very, very capable library. It's in jQuery, just to note.

Demos of JQPlot here

JQPlot can fit all your needs, it seems:

• Line Graphs JQPlot supports these just fine, as you'd expect
• Histograms Histograms are just bar charts, so that should be ok. A colour histogram would just consist of 1px wide bars
• Scatterplots Scatter plots are also fine
• Motion Charts I think you mean bubble plots, which JQPlot also does

graphael supports a number of graph types.

I ran across this question while researching the same topic. Since I wasn't entirely happy with any of the options out there, I created i3d3, a fairly simple library based on D3.js which may meet your needs. So far it is working well for our project (monitoring system for a high-energy particle astrophysics project), and at least one other project in the wild.
