SVG in general falls over with very large datasets, I find html canvas based libraries such as maybe Flot better for thousands upon thousands of datapoints. I love d3 as much as anyone and all of it's offspring, but SVG is too slow in most browsers (especially Firefox) for lots of datapoints.
- Someone1234 12y agoIt is interesting that you cannot copy SVG out of your browser. When I visit the page in Chrome, mouse over the graph and "copy," it doesn't copy either the BMP buffer OR the raw SVG (XML). I was going to try and copy/paste into Outlook, but that's obviously no-go if you cannot copy at all. Interesting limitation of SVG that I wasn't aware existed until now.
- SEJeff 12y agoYet another bonus of canvas, something vaguely akin to: var canvas = document.getElementById("canvasElement"); var image = canvas.toDataURL("image/png"); document.write('<img src="' + img + '">');
- TheLoneWolfling 12y agoTo be fair, that's not an intrinsic limitation so much as a browser implementation limitation. File a bug report?
