An amazing Javascript graphics package: Protovis
Hi Folks
I /still/ hate having to sign in twice in order to post. Grrrr.
Anyway, see this: http://vis.stanford.edu/protovis/

However, let's not develop oodles on incomplete Perl interfaces, p-l-e-a-s-e. After all, we don't want another SVG debacle, do we?
I try to write all code in Perl, but find I end up writing in bash, CSS, HTML, JS, and SQL, and doing database design, just to get anything done...
Looks really nice, but its a shame it doesn't support IE - makes it difficult to recommend for a production environment.
That said, it sounds like IE support might be possible with some 3rd party scripts and some extra effort http://code.google.com/p/protovis-js/issues/detail?id=15
I've used http://raphaeljs.com in the past. It doesn't have the declarative style of Protovis but it works everywhere!
Hi nickl
Thanx for the feedback.
Where in the docs does it say it can't be used with IE?
I couldn't find any documentation on which browsers are officially supported, and admittedly I havent done much investigation, but none of the examples work in IE8, and the link I posted *suggests* that IE is not officially supported.
