D3 always looks really interesting to me, but I still just use Highcharts for generating charts (easy to use, great documentation). Any reason to try out D3 for basic charting, or is it best suited for more custom scenarios?
- untog 11y agoDefinitely more suited for custom scenarios. That said, once you've got the basics in D3 it's really easy to start adding pieces of knowledge and customize. Highcharts is a lot more abstracted away.
- snowwrestler 11y agoThe Atlantic's Quartz website has open-sourced a simple D3-based charting program called Chartbuilder. It's not as full-featured as Highcharts, but it's free at any usage level and customizable.
