Highcharts is a charting library written in pure JavaScript, offering an easy way of adding interactive charts to your web site or web application. It currently supports line, spline, area, areaspline, column, bar, pie and scatter chart types.
Highcharts works in all modern browsers including the iPhone and Internet Explorer from version 6. Standard browsers use the Canvas element and in some cases SVG for the graphics rendering. In Internet Explorer graphics are drawn using VML. Therefore in addition to Highcharts.js core, you will need a canvas emulator for IE, and either the jQuery or the MooTools framework.
Features
