<div>Hey everyone,</div><div><br></div>Well flash is as cross-browser as you can get. But I understand the need of open source tools and plugins involved in pma. Maybe OFC was not the best way to go for charts as there are lots of javascript utilities which do almost the same thing.<div>
<br></div><div>For flot [1] to work in older IE browsers there is a need of HTML canvas helper called excanvas [2] (as it is the case with many javascript plotters). As I understand this is just a javascript library offering canvas functionality.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The Raphael [3] is too general I believe. It is a tool to work with SVG. So all the details that are needed for charts are missing there. More general solutions of which are plenty would better suit our needs.</div>
<div><br></div><div>eZ Components Graph component [4] looks very good and is very well documented. Before this I thought of implementing image chart renderer by myself, but now I just do not see any reason for it, since eZ has many functions that can be used.</div>
<div><br></div><div>eZ Components is a huge project in itself. But I believe the Graph component can be used independently.</div><div><br></div><div>There is another PHP chart project that I stumbled upon which looks really good. It is pChart [5]. However eZ says that they have a company behind them. And their latest version is newer than pChart.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So now I believe I will scrap the flash approach and go with flot and eZ Graph. First of all I will add eZ Graph to the places that OFC has been added. Then I will proceed with flot.</div><div><br></div>
