Unknown content in the html div - javascript

I know this question is not a good one but I have stumbled upon on website called Tradingview.com which has awesome charts. I was interested so got into the html code of the website and I discovered that div which should have contained desired chart was empty. I get that the chart is generated by JavaScript but I am interested how it is possible to draw something like that without any html elements and If it is possible could you tell me what "library" do they use?
Here is the link to Apple Stock Chart
https://www.tradingview.com/chart/BRuYnW6t/

Basically Javascript literally Draw chart inside that div on local end.
like JS will make rectangular shapes. circles, lines and everything.
for details please visit this site.

drawing div will be empty but shapes and everything in it will be there because of JS.

Looks like tradingview has an API for their library available upon request. I would also encourage you check out chart.js, a popular solution for implementing charts in javascript.

Normally drawing in HTML is done with canvas (WebGL for 3D drawings) or SVG. Additionally, you may use plugins like Flash ActionScript and Java Applets. For charts, a superb library would be Google Charts.
If you inspect carefully enough (F12), you will realize TradingView actually uses canvas for the drawing.

Looking for video timeline functionality like clideo

I'm looking to implement a video editing feature like that of featured here https://clideo.com/video-editor.
I'm planning to use Vue 3 with a Laravel backend, but is there an ideal framework to use for a web application like this, or should I just try to reverse engineer/hack my way to a working implementation?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, I just haven't been able to find an answer.
Thanks
Video editor consist of two important parts
1)A Timeline that represents sequence.
2)A Output window to show output of timeline.
-Clideo uses div and html elements positioning to generate timeline but a better alternative is to use Canvas and draw a timeline on it just like in veed.io
-For video output again you have to use canvas and webGL to draw each and every frame one by one.
you wont be able to edit video on backend and send edited multimedia for each change user makes you need to find a way to do in on client using webcodec.
For the choice of framework if you are having canvas and webGL do all the rendering of timeline and output then it dosent matters you will spend more time with drawing functions.
Almost every video editor has a timeline. But only in some of it (https://wave.video/tools/video-marketing/promo-video-maker) is divided into several ranges. An additional advantage will be the grid on the line. You can also easily manage layers and frames.

Javascript big-data visualisation

I'm about to develop a UI for medical research application. I need to make a time series line graph. Main issue is the amount of data:
5,000 points per graph, with a few of them displayed simultaneity. I’m expecting 50,000 points processed all together.
The question is what presentation library?
The main features I’m looking for are: Handles huge data sets, Zoom, annotations, live update.
I’m already looking into http://dygraphs.com/ and http://meteorcharts.com/
I wouldn't want any library that renders the data as DOM elements, or that uses SVG (from performance perspective)
Well, I think I'll give everyone my own answer to my question:
Dygraphs (http://dygraphs.com/) seems to be on the spot. The documentation, although a lot of apparent efforts, leaves a lot to be desired. But from performance, features and flexibility, it's the best I've seen. At least for my current project needs.
Way to go, Dygraphs!
Have you checked out D3? I'm using that for a lot of graph visualization. It looks like this example renders to svg.
My stuff renders to a SVG for force graph visualizations too, but it looks like D3 might be able to use either a canvas or SVG, but I'm not positive about what all can be rendered to which. Honestly, I'd give D3 a try even with SVG, it might be fast enough. I remember reading something about someone simulating thousands of particles using D3's force graph visualizations without issues. It's SUPER easy to get your data into the right format for it to use.
Good luck!
I am developing a very similar application.
I am currently using Flot for the chart rendering. It handles annotations and zoom, take a look at their plugin library.
I recommend this downsampling plugin which will speed up graph rendering. Rendering 5000 points on your graph is useless: you have less vertical pixels on your screen than that! so this library will only render those that actually have a visual importance.
This only gives you the graph. You may want some kind of dashboard to present all that... I am currently looking at Grafana, which is used for a totally different purpose but makes awesome dashboards. It may be possible to "rip out" their dashboarding features (it uses Flot as well).
Another option is Hightcharts, but that's not free.
Check raphael js Library
Raphaël is a small JavaScript library that should simplify your work with vector graphics on the web. If you want to create your own specific chart or image crop and rotate widget, for example, you can achieve it simply and easily with this library.

Creating a complex interactive wheel as a web app

How would you do to create a chart like this, interactive (i.e. with links and tooltips), in an HTML page?
From what I know about SVG I think it's the right direction to take (no Flash anyway), but I'd like to know what would be the path you'd take first in order to have an interactive chart looking like this on a web page.
I'm not asking for the details but just where to begin to look. I know JavaScript quite well, but I have never dealt with any SVG libraries.
checkout d3.js examples, this example looks very close to your pic.
I offer to use Raphael library (http://raphaeljs.com/) and if you like to make more complex or using 3d objects you can use webgl with treejs library (http://threejs.org/) .. you can find example and demo for charts or other documents in websites..

framework to create tooltip (createjs and kineticjs)

I'm searching for a JS framework that is compatible with CreateJS and KineticJS to create tooltips on a canvas.
I'm making an app that uses both CreateJSs and KineticJS and I want to draw tooltips on both of them (without using two libraries).
Thank you.
There are dozens (if not hundreds) of tooltip scripts out there—just ask google!
I assume that since you want to support both createJS and kineticJS that you must have already coded the trigger that requests a tooltip.
With that in mind, here is one tooltip library: http://www.opentip.org/documentation.html
It’s open-source so you can use/modify it freely.
It’s controlled by javascript so you have createJS/kineticJS independence while still working in JS.
It uses html canvas to display the tip so customizations should be familiar to you.
The tip-canvas is temporary and it floats so it should not interfere with your main canvas.
It allows you to offset the tooltip, so your code can exactly position the tip as you need.

Best way to go about making "simple" line graphs with a very light footprint? jquery? canvas?

I'm trying to create line graphs like the one in the image below.
It needs to have a very light weight(in kb), and needs to have points that I could hover(for a tooltip about that point, like in the image). I don't need pie charts or anything like that, just line graphs like above.
I'm just not sure how to go about it best, I don't know canvas, and i'm assuming that might be pretty complex trying to do what I need with canvas. I know jQuery decently well.
I'm wondering: Is there a very light weight framework/plugin that would allow me to do just the bare essentials like in the image? If not, how would you suggest going about this with jQuery?
All I need are the lines drawn, with points that I could trigger a hover on, I can take care of the tooltip and all that, i'm just trying to figure out how to draw all the lines the match up with the grid, and get the little circle elements in the right position.
Thanks so much.
ps: light weight to me is not more than a few kb, because I want them to be interactive(not just a static image), but i'm not going to have so many of them that I need a huge jquery plugin, just something small.
Also: I'm trying to make it so it's responsive, and shrinks to fit a phones screen.
SVG sounds just like what you are looking for. You can use a library such as JQuery SVG or Raphael (based on Prototype.js) to make it easier.
Google Chart API is very solid and easy to use. Here is an example of a simple Line Chart
http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?type=visualization#line_chart
You can also Interact with the charts you create:
https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/basic_interactivity
https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/events
I don't know how lightweight you could possibly get to do what you want, for that kind of thing I would normally use flot.
If you are not planning any manipulation on the graphs. Use a PHP library called pChart
Check out Google Charts. It looks like the perfect thing. It doesn't use flash, so it's smaller than some, and it has tooltips. As a bonus, you can use live data on the web.
