Re: [birt-dev] Better Graphics

Dropped my phone while I was typing and hit send early. :/


So I'll caution about using front-end libraries. In the commercial product, this was initially a pain to export to formats like PDF, and required external libraries to render the EMCA script for server side use. This required extra third party libraries.

Hi,

I'm not a front end expert - trying to figure out what are the opinions about looking at Plotly. It's open source, which will address the highchart license problem. I was told it's built on top of D3 - which provides lot of flexibility.

The big drawback is download size - 1.0 minified. Will be nice to have something with lower footprint. For certain use cases using CDN is not an option.

Any other libraries that may fit the bill ?
