I am looking for various options for charting/graphing.
My requirements are
- this is for a business demo and hence needs to be really cool. And have all the bells/whistles like animations etc.
- It needs to support a large set of chart/graph types (line, bar, pie, polar etc)
- it should be highly configurable
- it is for a larger audience and put on a projector. Hence it should have features like ability to control the size of labels, legend, etc
- I prefer to go with something thats Jquery/Javascript/html5 based as these are latest technologies to stay and can suit tablets to big screens.
I need to know the pros and cons of various packages.
- I saw things like FusionCharts (flash based), but has a lot of features
- jqplot (jquery based)
- some silverlight based
Need to understand which one meets my requirements best and has all the features.
I am open to anything as long as it meets the above requirements.
I dont agree with what @Hrishikesh Choudhari has said above.
FusionCharts Free renders charts in only in Flash. Where as the paid version XT renders the graphs in Flash & JS.
see Note section in this link: http://www.fusioncharts.com/goodies/fusioncharts-free/
You need to specify your charts explicitly if you want to render them in JS as default. with
Fusioncharts.setCurrentRenderer('javascript');. If you dont specify it then It will first look for flash if its not there( iPad) then it will render the chart in JS.There are very minute, I should say insignificant, cosmetic changes in Flash & JS version.
You can likewise use Google Chart Tools if you want free charts. Some of the Silverlight charts look promising too.
