Madhura Jayaratne is implementing his OpenGIS project with flot, the

Will this library be included in pma releases in the future? If yes, I
would also use flot for the charts on the status page. It seems more
clever to generate the graphs on the client, rather than creating png
files on the server and transfer them. It would reduce server load and
allows for a lot more possibilities on the client-side.
Hi Tyron,
I did it as a test run and it is not finalized. Unfortunately I can't get flot to draw polygons with inner rings and that was a dead end for me. So right now I'm looking into generating all the GIS visualizations with SVG. In particular I am trying to generate them with jQuery-SVG.
Well, I agree that flot makes the life very easy for developers and the graphs are rich in quality. However you get less control over the plot. For example with SVG, I can manipulate each elements in the plot, but in flot that ability is limited to few events they have exposed. I'm not sure how this applies in your case, you might not want to manipulate it at all.
