These libraries all look so very pretty, but with the exception of dygraphs, explode horribly given anything but the most superficial of data sets.
Speedy fetching/rendering/interaction of 10,000 samples for a handful of variables is always going to suck when every sample of every variable requires its own object with a handful of properties.
As for the usefulness of charts displaying only 4 or 5 data points.. well, you're really not gaining much from visual representation of such a tiny set, other than 'oooh that's pretty' feel-good factor.
- VeejayRampay 14y agoWell isn't that a very positive comment. At which point do you see a link to a library that someone took time to code and polish and decide "now would be a good moment to shit all over it"??
- hosay123 14y agoIn order to draw some boxes it (and many like it) require upwards of 10 heap allocations along with gobs of animation and sugar per 4 straight lines rendered on a 2D canvas, the result being they're useless for rendering actually large data sets – the very kind that benefit most from summary visual representation.
