Flot is a pure Javascript plotting library for jQuery. It produces graphical plots of arbitrary datasets on-the-fly client-side.

The focus is on simple usage (all settings are optional), attractive looks and interactive features like zooming and mouse tracking.

The plugin works with Internet Explorer 6/7/8, Firefox 2.x+, Safari 3.0+, Opera 9.5+ and Konqueror 4.x+ with the HTML canvas tag (Internet Explorer where the excanvas Javascript emulation helper is used).

Examples

FlotUsage has plenty of examples of people and companies using Flot. Make sure you check out the examples.

Plugins

Flot has supported plugins since v. 0.6. Some are bundled with Flot. If you're a plugin developer, consider posting a link at the plugin page.

Documentation

The examples are a good starting point. Besides them, there's a README, FAQ and the API documentation (API for SVN/development version). The NEWS will tell you the changes.

If you need more help, ask on the forum/mailing list. You can probably save yourself some time skimming the FAQ first.

Bugs, patches, suggestions

Bugs and suggestions should go to the bug tracker. If you're interested in discussing something Flot related or have a bug that might be in your code rather than in Flot, consider posting to the friendly gang on the forum/mailing list.

If you're interested, be sure to check out the development version.
