This Open Source JavaScript Charts Library is purely client-side JavaScript. It does not send your data to any servers – the data is processed entirely in the client’s browser.

The dygraphs JavaScript library relies heavily on HTML’s <canvas> tag, which Microsoft Internet Explorer does not support. Fortunately, some clever engineers created the excanvas library, which implements the <canvas> tag in IE using VML.
