Raphaël + Flot = Raphlot

An port of Flot to use the Raphaël APIs.

Advantages of this approach:

  • SVG is a vector format, 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

This code is currently being served to users of timetric.com if their browser supports SVG, otherwise they get Flash. (This is for performance reasons — Raphlot works well on IE because of Raphaël's VML support.)
