From: Grumps on 4 Aug 2010 16:07 Hi all. This should be simple, but I'm trying to find a js that will draw a simple line graph. I've googled and found loads, and tried several too, but they all lack the basic requirements. 1) Need to enter x,y coords. 2) Need to be able to define x and y axis upper and lower limits. 3) Need to be able to label and number the axes. 4) Needs to work with FF, Opera, Chrome, Safari and IE (from 6 up). 5) Doesn't have to be free. http://danvk.org/dygraphs/ is the closest, but I can't find how to set the axes' values. I'd like hours along the x-axis in steps of 6 hours. TIA for any suggestions.

There's a <canvas> plugin/extension for IEs but last time I tried it it was a complete disaster. And IMO it's not a very good thing to ask the users to install a plugin to see your page, or is it? I think that your options are: Drop IE from the list and use a <canvas> and/or a library such as http://raphaeljs.com/ (SVG) or any other. or use flash, or build the graphs on the server, e.g. http://code.google.com/apis/chart/ or draw the pixels as <td>s in a <table>, e.g. http://jorgechamorro.com/cljs/028/ HTH, -- Jorge.

Raphael looks nice and easy. It does seem to work with IE8. Should it work? >use flash, Ah, it needs to run on an iPhone (no flash). >build the graphs on the server, e.g. http://code.google.com/apis/chart/ >draw the pixels as <td>s in a <table>, e.g. >http://jorgechamorro.com/cljs/028/ I'll look into both of those too. >HTH, It does. Thank you.

It does seem to work with IE8. Did you mean "it doesn't seem to work with IE8"? Otherwise you next question doesn't make much sense. > Should it work? <snip> IE 8 has an 'interesting' feature where it will not do VML on a page in 'standards' mode, only on pages in 'quirks' mode. As IE 8 doesn't do SVG Raphael will only work on IE 8 in 'quirks' mode. Unfortunately that makes the <canvas> emulations that uses VML for its emulation on IE significantly less viable. Richard.

I'm only drawing vectors and circles. >> Should it work? > <snip> > > IE 8 has an 'interesting' feature where it will not do VML on a page in > 'standards' mode, only on pages in 'quirks' mode.

Then I guess IE8's quirks mode is good enough to render my Raphael output. > Unfortunately that makes the <canvas> emulations that uses VML for its > emulation on IE significantly less viable. You mean that it shouldn't work? |
