Does any one know of any good javascript 3d graphing utility? I know that every site ever recommends Canvas 3d Graph but it is actually quite limiting. For one it only allows graphing with datasets that are within the 1000. Though it does have some capability (with a bit of code modifying) to graph data that are a bit out of its range, nothing out of a complete revamp will allow graphing of data based on time or with values hugely larger than 1000. (I have data values that range into the billions.)
Or should I abandon all hope and either write one myself or look to other technology?
Google O3D is a library for producing 3d-graphics using Javascript. It also has a deprecated plugin, but the newest version uses WebGL.

You’ll definitely need to build a small graphing-shell around it, but it shouldn’t be hard, especially not if you look closely to the examples provided on the Google-code website.
It uses OpenGL as a backend-technology: rendering lots of polygons, on reasonable hardware, is not a problem at all.
