What is a good Javascript graphing library to use with GWT application? - javascript

Do you have any suggestions of graphing libraries to use with a GWT project? I need to graph a set of data points and several lines. Also some shading of the area under a line. I am open to suggestions of straight Javascript libraries or Java that I can just use with GWT.

D3.js
gwt-d3 is a GWT wrapper library around the D3.js library
Google Visualization API
Google Visualization API has a GWT binding which is no longer under active development

I recommend GWT Highcharts, a GWT wrapper of Highcharts library.

I'm currently using Google Visualization API but just wanted to bring attention to:
raphaelGWT (http://code.google.com/p/raphaelgwt/)
Ext-GWT (http://www.extjs.com/products/gwt/)
Keep in mind not ALL of the Google Visualization charts are completely javascript (ie The Motion Chart which is flashed based).

Is there any way to extract graph viewer from arangoDB

Can I extract graph viewer part alone from ArangoDB web UI and integrate that into my web application?
Is this possible?
You can use keylines or cytoscape js for graph visualization, if you are looking for purpose made libraries. Otherwise you can use a lower level library like D3.

Javascript Compilation for migration of D3 js v3 to v4

I am using D3 js V3 for my application (Javascript charting library). I am using mainly for creating charts and almost used many modules like selections, axis, scale, svg, transition, animations, layouts etc.
Now I want to migrate into new Version 4 of D3 js. I have checked release notes and API reference for V4. Still i found difficult for my application to get migrated to V4 since there are many API changes.
So my question, Is there any way to compile my application with D3 js, So that i can avoid errors getting in Runtime environment.
There is no pre compiler with D3js or any error highlighter right now.
So you have the check for the changes and do that manually.
Updated document is here https://github.com/d3/d3/blob/master/CHANGES.md

Dynamic Graph Using Websocket Inside Cordova App

I'm trying to create dynamic graph inside a mobile cordova angularjs application.
I've done a bit of research and tried several libraries to plot a graph using a websocket protocol with no success.
I'm starting to think its not possible and would need to program a custom one.
Does angularjs support any live streamed graphs for use?
I would like to use something provided by highcharts a live dynamic spline chart.
Thank you very much.

Visualization with Dart?

My work involves pretty heavy visualization. I have been using D3.js and JavaScript Infovis toolkit for it.
I recently learned about how Dart is the new way of developing web apps.
Q1. Does Dart provide any libraries for doing visualization (Something of the level of D3.js or JavaScript Infovis toolkit) ?
Q2. If I move on to Dart, will I be able to use D3.js / Javascript Infovis toolkit along with Dart ?
Edit:
I found over the internet that we can use Javascript alongwith Dart.
I went through Dart FAQ, but couldn't really find anything related to visualization libraries or D3.js perse.
Thanks to dart:js you can use any js lib. See Using JavaScript from Dart for more details.
You could also use native ports of d3.js to make development easier since you can then write the visualization code in Dart. A good one you should look at is charted
In addition I created a package for the google visualization API.

How to plot or draw custom designed charts in BIRT reports?

I am trying to generate a report (with Charts and other lists) based on some data from a conventional scripted datasource. Basically, the charts that BIRT provides are not suitable for my report so I thought maybe I can produce some charts(with an external app) based on the data from database, saving the charts into files and eventually, dynamically load those files into my report. So here are my questions:
Is this possible to somehow create custom designed charts? if yes how
to do this? and how can I add charts to the report?
I have all the data needed in dataset from scripted datasource, is it possible to draw graphics on
the fly with some javascript while the report is being created? I mean by using the data I just
draw my own custom designed chart?(this is a very simple chart and no fancy stuff).
You could also look at some different chart libraries. Fusion Charts (www.fusioncharts.com) have many more charts than standard BIRT does. BIRT Designer Professional (the version of BIRT Designer that you pay for) provides access to Fusion Charts.
You can also check out Chart Da Vinci that is a programmatic interface to the BIRT Chart API that provides you with an easy to use technique (so they say) for building and customizing charts.
BIRT has a chart API. Its documentation lives here.
To answer both your questions: yes, you can, and yes, you can - the API has all the info, although it's not the most user friendly.
