JavaScript Canvas charting/timeline example
June 30, 2008 – 4:46 pm Tags: JavaScriptI was on holiday last week and haven’t been really able to think of anything really really interesting to write, so here’s something I made a while back: A Canvas-element powered chart/graph/timeline thing of my programming language skills, which I made as an excercise for making chart-type stuff with canvas.
I think the canvas element is starting to get quite feasible for charting, since it now works in Internet Explorer using the great ExplorerCanvas script.
Feel free to use/take apart/break/something the canvas script in the example if you like. It should work out of the box if you just provide it with some custom data in a similar format as seen in the code.

This would be awesome for use on a resume.

I was actually thinking about making it a bit more snazzier and using it just for that =)

Hi, is this still alive? The link is dead, but it sounds like a very cool toy

Hey, I’ve fixed the link now – thanks for spotting, some things apparently still broken after I moved hosts
