I'm wondering if there are any 2D graph plotting libraries that run on the client side using JavaScript? The basic idea is that you could put up a plot in a browser and the user can change things like X and Y scales and limits, zooming in and out, without having to constantly reload the web page from the server. The data itself would be fetched via AJAX, which would allow a user to also just wget the data straight from the server if they want to use heavy-duty tools. Something like the 2D part of matplotlib for Python.

This is something I took a look at a long time ago before deciding that it was faster to develop some code that just generated an SVG on the server side (using a built-in eCos web server), but now that I've been reading up on things like Prototype and jQuery, I'm wondering if someone has gone and开发者_JAVA百科 done this already.

You may be interested in trying Flot. Flot is a pure Javascript open-source plotting library for jQuery. It produces graphical plots of arbitrary datasets on-the-fly on the client-side.

First of all, make sure to check the following example which uses data fetched via AJAX to plot a chart in rea-ltime:

  • Flot Examples - Updating graphs with AJAX

This is how fetching and plotting the data with AJAX would look like in code:

function fetchData() {

    function onDataReceived(series) {
        data = [ series ];

        $.plot($("#placeholder"), data, options);
    }

    $.ajax({
        url:      "data_feed.php",
        method:   "GET",
        dataType: "json",
        success:  onDataReceived
    });

    setTimeout(fetchData, 1000);
}

Stack Overflow also uses Flot for the zoomable chart in the Reputation tab of user profiles.
