    Recommend gauge and chart I can use from javascript.

    I need to find some nice looking javascript charts and gauges (no flash). Further I'd like a demo to protortype with. I can find lots of charts but no demo guages.

    If you do a search, you can find demos for charts and gauges.

    Plotkit seems to look OK, though I've never tried it.

      Thanks. The 'and gauges' is the problem. Plotkit looks nice for charts, I did find a few other charts but very few gauges (with dials and or led ) that were javascript and not flash.

          What about the first result for "javascript gauge"?

            They might be good, but I cannot persuade them to give me a demo of their gauge. I did get a demo of the chart.

            Have you used them?

              No, I haven't. The demo is there, or did you mean to use it on your own site?

                the demo doesn't have a gauge only a chart. I tried it a few weeks back. I looked at many possible gauges but nothing worked out which is why i posted my question here. Now if i wanted a chart or a table i would be pretty well off.

                I mean to buy one and not develop it myself. However it looks like finding one will take longer than making one.

                  in fact i suppose i have googled enough dead ends and posted enough. i can make one using the canvas tag. I can buy one without demoing it first (probably not a good idea). my desire might be too much of a special interest.

                    Maybe I've misunderstood what you mean by a gauge. Don't you mean something like a speedometer, odometer, fuel/temperature gauge?

                      No you are correct. I am just needing a demo and the vendor you mentioned has a demo but it ommits the components for the gauges. And they haven't answered any emails so maybe there are other issues. WHich is too bad because the charts and other components look pretty good.

                      I am trying Bindows for the gauge. I will test them and verify there is no memory leak as that is an issue with the existing application.

                        Good luck and let us know if you manage to get the charts and gauges working without problems.

                          bindows gauges are working fine. the emprise charts do not support more than one chart on a page for me so I am attempting to learn plotkit.

                            Here is my update

                            I still havent found a usable chart. Our application is unusual, it must run continuously and be updated in 'real' time.

                            The emprise chart leaks memory.
                            I tried some other charts, such as flotr and it was quite nice but also leaked memory.

                            ChartXY is good but its not responsive enough for the update rate.

                            I tired making my own with canvas and it also leaked. My guess is that making an object and assigning the id.innerHTML seems to be the only means that doesnt have some kind of leak but its slow.

                            But I am not familiar with memory management implications of javascript. All I know is c++ new and delete :) and I have no delete.
