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.
