The most usable charting solution keeps getting better.
- afshinmeh 14y agoAgree. I really like their financial charts also.
- swah 14y agoVery nice. Do you know how they achieve the 1-pixel lines on the chart? I'm supposing they use SVG, like RaphaelJS. This was a little PITA for me in RaphaelJS.
- lucisferre 14y agoIf only it had the most "usable" pricing structure too: http://shop.highsoft.com/highcharts.html http://shop.highsoft.com/highcharts.html One price for a "web page" that's not a "web application" and then pricing per developer? Just ridiculous. Why not add a per CPU surcharge while we're at it?
- damoncali 14y agoI don't even know what pricing per developer means. They should rethink this, because I know lots of people who ignore it because it doesn't make sense for their situation.
- netfire 14y agoAgreed. This is a confusing and very strange way to do pricing. It shouldn't matter what the size of my team is. I should just be able to buy a license for my entire website/application.
- ricardobeat 14y agoWhat's the problem? Per-seat licenses are nothing new, it's how you have always bought Adobe/Microsoft/Autodesk/etc software. Use d3 if you don't want to spend the money, it's much more powerful anyway.
- damoncali 14y agoThe problem is that it's on a website, and the number of developers can change from day to day.
- ricardobeat 14y agoThe license is not personal, so if another developer comes along he can take over without a new license.
- damoncali 14y agoIt says "each person". I think I understand what they mean, but honestly, I'm not sure. For small teams using contractors, this is really unclear.
- lucisferre 14y ago> Use d3 if you don't want to spend the money, it's much more powerful anyway. I will, and that's the point. I don't see how this in any way invalidates my statements about their product
- Ixiaus 14y agoGoogle Charts is very usable and they look really good IMHO - and it's open source. I couldn't afford HighCharts license AND they never responded to me when we tried to email them about getting a "deal" as a startup. https://developers.google.com/chart/ https://developers.google.com/chart/ [EDIT] Changed to charts and included link
- syassami 14y agoI use xcharts, It's very simple, good looking and based off of D3.js http://tenxer.github.com/xcharts/ http://tenxer.github.com/xcharts/
- codexon 14y agoGoogle charts is noticeably laggy at around 200+ data points. You can take a look here. https://www.google.com/finance https://www.google.com/finance HighCharts/Stock is magnitudes faster.
