24 Hours with Flot

December 6th, 2007 Posted by Don Albrecht

Alright, So Flot 0.1 has been out in the wild for just under 2 days now and it’s gotten some pretty decent traction with the Ajax blogs. I’ve taken some time over the past 24 hours to work with the library and I have to say, It’s pretty awesome. Highlights:

The presets really are excellent , simple charts are very little work.
The charts look great, the integrated support for shadows & alpha channels really makes them shine
The underlying architecture is excellent. I’ve been able to get under the hood and add needed features without any major headaches.
jQuery based
