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 is known to work with Internet Explorer 6/7/8 (IE8 only in development version), Firefox 2.x+, Safari 3.0+, Opera 9.5+ and Konqueror 4.x+. If you find a problem, please report it. Drawing is done with the canvas tag introduced by Safari and now available on all major browsers, except Internet Explorer where the excanvas Javascript emulation helper is used.

Documentation

Besides the examples, 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, have a patch or have a bug that you think is likely to be in your code rather than in Flot, consider posting to the friendly gang on the forum/mailing list.
