Flot is a Free Javascript Plotting Library for jQuery. It produces graphical plots of arbitrary data sets on-the-fly client-side. The focus is on simple usage, attractive looks, and interactive features like zooming.
Flot is easy to use, it is also advanced enough to be suitable for Web 2.0 data mining/business intelligence purposes, which is its original application.
This Free Javascript Plotting Library is easy to install, just include the Javascript file after you’ve included jQuery.
You need to get a version of Excanvas (e.g. the one bundled with Flot) which is canvas emulation on Internet Explorer and you need at least jQuery 1.2.6 (but at least jQuery 1.3.2 is recommended for interactive charts because of performance improvements in event handling).
The Free Plotting Library is open source and released under MIT License.
