I am looking at a more recent and modern chart js library than flot.

My problem with flot is that it does not support well mobile and tablet. At the last resort, I will have to use myself hammer.js to code something. But if that would come built-in or with some plugin with another library, that would be nice.

  • I tried chart.js, and it is slow to render my data (which are not that huge). Zooming is slow. I don't know if there is something to configure here. Panning does not work. I can't find help to debug this. No IRC, no forum.

  • I tried taucharts. Which is huge in size, coming with d3. And very slow to render my data. I did not see anything to zoom or pan, yet. May be I have not looked well.

  • I tried echarts. But I couldn't make it work I don't know why. I got an error and I can't debug this. My fault here.

So I am looking for something as lightweight as possible coming with zoom/pan built-in or with plugin.

  • If you think taucharts is took large, because it s based on d3, then you probably won't accept D3js, which is a pity as it the best there is

    It's not that I mind d3, but bare d3.js seems a whole framework or language to learn and master. Quite a beast, it seems. I just have a line plot and a bar chart to draw and update.

  • Ah, now I undestand. Learning curve. Well, there are certainly simpler libraries. OTOH, d3hs has plenty of examples & dcoumentation. I just copied & altered. If there is even a slim chance that you might want to use some of those tempting baubles, then you may as well jump right in now :-)

Syncfusion provides a chart control ejChart that works with jQuery. The chart is responsive and can be used on mobile and tablet devices. Zooming and Panning are built in.

There is also a newer chart control EJ2 Chart that is not jQuery depedendent. The chart is responsive and can be used on mobile and tablet devices and also has better performance and is lightweight. Zooming and Panning are built in.

The entire product is available for free through the community license program if you qualify (less than 1 million USD in revenue).
