I currently have this set up: http://sandbox.brightboxstudios.com/orgmap/
They are draggable and I am trying to find a way to have lines connect them, even when they are dragged. Having an easy way to show how each is related and which should be connected is ideal!
Thanks!!!
You should consider using the D3.js library. In particular this example is what I think you are looking for: http://mbostock.github.com/d3/ex/force.html
Take a look at this: jQuery - use canvas to draw lines between divs
I'd start with that code, and just re-draw the lines every time the divs change location.
You may try KineticJS too. I think that it will provide what you want easily. http://www.kineticjs.com/
Here you can find lots of tutorials: http://www.html5canvastutorials.com/kineticjs/html5-canvas-events-tutorials-introduction-with-kineticjs/
You can also try jsPlumb, a JavaScript library that can connects divs together. It's really simple to use and there are plenty of demos on that page.

I created a simple graphic with LibreOffice:
The lines are not symmetric.
I am very lazy and a bit autistic. Moving the lines with the mouse does not feel correct for me. I is very unlikely that I will find the matching position for all six lines of this picture.
I would like to code it.
AFAIK there are several ways. You could use dot or JavaScript.
A pure JS solution would be enough, I don't need to create a SVG/PNG/JPG.
How could this be done with dot or JS?
Even in LibreOffice you can use grid. Please see this answer
You could use this library to paint the boxes: http://paperjs.org/
Let's say that we have the following image:
I'm thinking of drawing this image with all the possible connections and then position some labels on their correspondent arrow... but this may not be the best approach, because the position of each label would be different depending on screen resolution. What do you think about this approach?
My question is: anyone knows any JavaScript library, jQuery plugin capable of drawing something like the image above? I mean, capable of doing multiple connections and that could be implemented with AngularJS ?
Here are some new details:
After I make some tests with JointJS, I think it is what I need, but...
the following link is an example of JointJS with a demo of connections/links between sources and targets that I would have on this project... The thing is: as you can see on this demo has alot of links and it's hard to interpret. Can anyone help me on how to make this look better? There's a better way of representing this? (on this example the link's are static but they would be done on a dynamically way).

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..
I am planning on making an analytics dashboard and would like to implement circular charts like the image attached to this question:
and I would like to do it using jQuery. Do you guys have any usefull links to resources or to other SO questions? Would be awesome!
Thanks!
You can also take a look at :

Both of them look really good and seems pretty easy to use.
The easiest way would probably be to create an SVG that mimics the appearance you want, and then use JavaScript/jQuery to modify the source of the SVG. The design you're requesting could probably be acheived by simply placing two arcs on top of one another.
Deriving from this excellent answer on calculating arcs, creating two overlapping ones could look something like this, which also demonstrates updating the arc dynamically.
lethargicpanda's suggestions are cool. Check out jQuery Knob too. It also allows user input.
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.
