flot EFlot plotting library encapsulation

  1. Documentation
  2. Change Log

This extension encapsulates the jQuery flot graph library see flot

example

Flot says:

Flot is a pure Javascript plotting library for jQuery. It produces graphical plots of arbitrary datasets on-the-fly client-side.

The focus is on simple usage (all settings are optional), attractive looks and interactive features like zooming and mouse tracking.

The plugin works with Internet Explorer 6/7/8, Firefox 2.x+, Safari 3.0+, Opera 9.5+ and Konqueror 4.x+ with the HTML canvas tag (the excanvas Javascript emulation helper is used for IE).

  • Yii 1.1 or above (not tested on 1.0 but might work)
