Raphaël + Flot = Raphlot

An port of Flot to use the Raphaël APIs.

Where Flot produces raster images on a Canvas bitmap, Raphlot (via Raphaël) will produce SVG graphs where supported, and VML graphs on IE6/7/8.

Advantages of this approach:

  • SVG/VML are vector formats, which is much better suited to drawing graphs.
  • No need for excanvas
  • Looks better at arbitrary zoom levels (important for multitouch devices)
  • IE9 will support hardware-accelerated SVG

Disadvantages:

  • It's currently a little slower than Canvas
  • No support on Android
