Highstock lets you create stock or general timeline charts in pure JavaScript.
Highstock lets you create stock or general timeline charts in pure JavaScript, including sophisticated navigation options like a small navigator series, preset date ranges, date picker, scrolling and panning.
Key Features:
Compatible: It works in all modern browsers including the iPhone/iPad and Internet Explorer from version 6. Standard browsers use SVG for the graphics rendering. In legacy Internet Explorer graphics are drawn using VML.
Open: One of the key features of Highstock is that under any of the licenses you are allowed to download the source code and make your own edits. This allows for personal modifications and a great flexibility.
Pure JavaScript: Highstock is solely based on native browser technologies and doesn't require client side plugins like Flash or Java. Furthermore you don't need to install anything on your server. No PHP or ASP.NET. Highstock needs only two JS files to run: The highstock.js core and either the jQuery, MooTools or Prototype framework. One of these frameworks is most likely already in use in your web page.
Numerous Chart Types: Highstock supports line, spline, area, areaspline, column, scatter, OHLC, candlestick, flags, arearange, areasplinerange and columnrange chart types. Any of these can be combined in one chart.
Simple Configuration Syntax: Setting the Highstock configuration options requires no special programming skills. The options are given in a JavaScript object notation structure, which is basically a set of keys and values connected by colons, separated by commas and grouped by curly brackets.
Dynamic: Through a full API you can add, remove and modify series and points or modify axes at any time after chart creation. Numerous events supply hooks for programming against the chart. In combination with jQuery, MooTools or Prototype's Ajax API, this opens for solutions like live charts constantly updating with values from the server, user supplied data and more.
