I am looking for a JavaScript charting library. My requirements are:

  • 2D line charts and bar charts
  • Zoom on X-axis with the possibility to synchronize zooming of several charts
  • Multiple lines on the same chart with same X-axis
  • Export to base64 data string (png)
  • A way to add milestones on X-axis with icons
  • Popup or popover with custom content and HTML links inside.
  • Free, open-source
  • No huge dataset, probably SVG based is great.
  • CSS support
  • I18N support
  • Usable with Angular

For the moment, I am considering plotlyjs and HighCharts. Any help would be appreciated!

  • HighCharts is excellent but not free-of-cost. Is free-of-cost a requirement (as you listed) or not? – Basil Bourque Jul 11 '18 at 6:56
  • Ideally yes. However, HighCharts is interesting because of affordable High-five License for pre-revenue or pre-financing startups which is applicable to us. – PeeWee2201 Jul 11 '18 at 9:10
  • HighCharts is nearly good but the way tooltips are implemented make it unfriendly to click on the links when the dataset is dense :-( – PeeWee2201 Jul 11 '18 at 11:15
  • visjs.org may be worth a look – knb Jul 12 '18 at 10:24
