JQuery Flot 画图插件 +实例源码 使用非常方便,效果非常漂亮

About ----- Flot is a Javascript plotting library for jQuery. Read more at the website: http://code.google.com/p/flot/ Take a look at the examples linked from above, they should give a good impression of what Flot can do and the source code of the examples is probably the fastest way to learn how to use Flot. Installation ------------ Just include the Javascript file after you've included jQuery. Note that you need to get a version of Excanvas (I currently suggest you take the one bundled with Flot as it contains a bugfix for drawing filled shapes) which is canvas emulation on Internet Explorer. You can include the excanvas script like this: <!--[if IE]><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="excanvas.pack.js"></script><![endif]--> If it's not working on your development IE 6.0, check that it has support for VML which excanvas is relying on. It appears that some stripped down versions used for test environments on virtual machines lack the VML support. Also note that you need at least jQuery 1.2.1. Basic usage ----------- Create a placeholder div to put the graph in: <div id="placeholder"></div> You need to set the width and height of this div, otherwise the plot library doesn't know how to scale the graph. You can do it inline like this: <div id="placeholder" style="width:600px;height:300px"></div> You can also do it with an external stylesheet. Make sure that the placeholder isn't within something with a display:none CSS property - in that case, Flot has trouble measuring label dimensions which results in garbled looks and might have trouble measuring the placeholder dimensions which is fatal (it'll throw an exception). Then when the div is ready in the DOM, which is usually on document ready, run the plot function: $.plot($("#placeholder"), data, options); Here, data is an array of data series and options is an object with settings if you want to customize the plot. Take a look at the examples for some ideas of what to put in or look at the reference in the file "API.txt". Here's a quick example that'll draw a line from (0, 0) to (1, 1): $.plot($("#placeholder"), [ [[0, 0], [1, 1]] ], { yaxis: { max: 1 } }); The plot function immediately draws the chart and then returns a Plot object with a couple of methods. What's with the name? --------------------- First: it's pronounced with a short o, like "plot". Not like "flawed". So "Flot" is like "Plot". And if you look up "flot" in a Danish-to-English dictionary, some up the words that come up are "good-looking", "attractive", "stylish", "smart", "impressive", "extravagant". One of the main goals with Flot is pretty looks. Flot is supposed to be "flot".
