Take a look at Yahoo! Pipes source. It uses <canvas>
and it looks great! And if you need a library to help you - take a look at Raphael and its special graph plugin gRaphael.
I haven't heard of diagrams being drawn clint side though I suppose it's possible using activex-software, flash or some type of module that the user installs on his/her browser. The most common is to use server-side software to generate images. My experience in this area comes from PHP and from the image generating libraries there. You can draw pretty much anything. I've also come across packages like, Image_graph, free and open source, specifically aimed at diagrams.
