Read more at the -website: - - http://code.google.com/p/flot/ - -Take a look at the examples linked from above, they should give a good -impression of what Flot can do and the source code of the examples is -probably the fastest way to learn how to use Flot. - - -Installation ------------- - -Just include the Javascript file after you've included jQuery. - -Generally, all browsers that support the HTML5 canvas tag are -supported. - -For support for Internet Explorer < 9, you can use Excanvas, a canvas -emulator; this is used in the examples bundled with Flot. You just -include the excanvas script like this: - - <!--[if lte IE 8]><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="excanvas.min.js"></script><![endif]--> - -If it's not working on your development IE 6.0, check that it has -support for VML which Excanvas is relying on. It appears that some -stripped down versions used for test environments on virtual machines -lack the VML support. - -You can also try using Flashcanvas (see -http://code.google.com/p/flashcanvas/), which uses Flash to do the -emulation. Although Flash can be a bit slower to load than VML, if -you've got a lot of points, the Flash version can be much faster -overall. Flot contains some wrapper code for activating Excanvas which -Flashcanvas is compatible with. - -You need at least jQuery 1.2.6, but try at least 1.3.2 for interactive -charts because of performance improvements in event handling. - - -Basic usage ------------ - -Create a placeholder div to put the graph in: - - <div id="placeholder"></div> - -You need to set the width and height of this div, otherwise the plot -library doesn't know how to scale the graph. You can do it inline like -this: - - <div id="placeholder" style="width:600px;height:300px"></div> - -You can also do it with an external stylesheet. Make sure that the -placeholder isn't within something with a display:none CSS property - -in that case, Flot has trouble measuring label dimensions which -results in garbled looks and might have trouble measuring the -placeholder dimensions which is fatal (it'll throw an exception). - -Then when the div is ready in the DOM, which is usually on document -ready, run the plot function: - - $.plot($("#placeholder"), data, options); - -Here, data is an array of data series and options is an object with -settings if you want to customize the plot. Take a look at the -examples for some ideas of what to put in or look at the reference -in the file "API.txt". Here's a quick example that'll draw a line from -(0, 0) to (1, 1): - - $.plot($("#placeholder"), [ [[0, 0], [1, 1]] ], { yaxis: { max: 1 } }); - -The plot function immediately draws the chart and then returns a plot -object with a couple of methods. - - -What's with the name? ---------------------- - -First: it's pronounced with a short o, like "plot". Not like "flawed". - -So "Flot" rhymes with "plot". - -And if you look up "flot" in a Danish-to-English dictionary, some up -the words that come up are "good-looking", "attractive", "stylish", -"smart", "impressive", "extravagant". One of the main goals with Flot -is pretty looks. |
