</div>I played a little with DyGraphs (<a href="http://dygraphs.com" target="_blank">dygraphs.com</a>) which is licensed under<br>
MIT License.<br>
<br>
It gave quite nice results and was able to read csv data either from<br>
an other source, or from within the html file (which is the only<br>
option working for local use)<br>
<br>
What I like with highcharts is the annotation, which might come handy<br>
when trying to plot the revision number with the data. Something<br>
similar should be possible with dygraph as well, but I never took the<br>
time to actually write it myself.<br></blockquote><div>DyGraphs look very nice, I don't know why I haven't found about them myself. <br>I would prefer something with a proper free license. It appears to have some<br>
annotations (<a href="http://dygraphs.com/gallery/#g/annotations">http://dygraphs.com/gallery/#g/annotations</a>), it shouldn't be that<br>hard to place them on the graph for each data point. <br><br></div><div>All in all, unless someone suggests a better option, I would go with dygraph. <br>
</div><div>I like their demos, and I will try to read the documentation now. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

PS: We decided to take future discussions to the dune-devel<br>
list... thus I added them in the TO<br>
