I work on a data viz product and we've always struggled with a myriad of charting libraries. IMO Chart.js is one of the best tools for charting that has quickly surpassed existing libraries in aesthetics, ease of use, robust community, etc. Big thanks to the Chart.js team for their work!
I wound up building an open-source web service for rendering Chart.js to images for embedding in static contexts without JS support such as email and chat: https://github.com/typpo/quickchart https://github.com/typpo/quickchart. Maybe some reading this thread will find it useful.
- etimberg 7y agoThat looks super cool!. Feel free to PR that to our list of plugins https://github.com/chartjs/awesome https://github.com/chartjs/awesome
- a_wild_dandan 7y agoI've been using Uber's graphing libraries, and they're nothing short of stunning.[1] It's easy to get started, and customizing or extending functionality is straightforward, with myriad example to help. And charting is rendering agnostic. SVG? Canvas? You choose. My only gripe is the lack of TypeScript support. I won't touch vanillaJS with a 20 foot pole if I can help, and the the missing type annotations can be painful.

- benmccann 7y agoIt looks cool. The only examples I see though are for drawing maps. Any pointers on how you could draw a x/y chart?
