PlotKit

PlotKit is a Javascript graph plotting library. It is aimed at web applications that require plotting series of data in modern web browsers.

PlotKit requires MochiKit. (1.3 or higher)

PlotKit supports both HTML Canvas and SVG, along with an emulated canvas for Internet Explorer.

PlotKit is easily extensible to include other rendering engines, styles and layouts. Please pursue the documentation for more information.

PlotKit is licensed under the BSD License, so you can include it in your free or commercial applications without worrying.
