It would be good if the library was marked as Libre so that LibreJS would easily recognize it: https://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/manual/html_node/Free-L...

Re: Plotly.js Open-Source Announcement
#42I've really enjoyed using plotly in the past for several projects. I can definitely recommend it if you haven't had the chance.
Re: Plotly.js Open-Source Announcement
#43Does this mean if I build an R-Shiny application, to be hosted on-site with Shiny Server, I can now include plotly charts without paying for an account with them?

#44This is great news for Jupyter (IPython) Notebooks: https://plot.ly/python/offline/ It basically provides interactive inline visualizations, making it great for data exploration (without having to send any data to plot.ly) I'm wondering if the success of Continuum (Anaconda) could've influence Plot.ly?
Thanks for the link!
Have you found a way to use the plots offline in your own server (e.g. in Django)?
I have just found integration with Jupyter....

#45I think the most interesting part of the announcement may actualy be the JSON schema for interactive charts. If broadly adopted this could be a really useful interchange format for charting between environments and languages.

#46Earlier quoted context omitted.
Does it support dual axis line charts? Didn't see it in examples. It's a must-have for any charts that display multiple metrics over time.
While dual-axis plots can be useful to have, there are some strong arguments from the data visualization community about how they are sub-optimal. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&c...
Being able to display 99p latency and transaction volume on one chart is invaluable. Generally, if the metrics are correlated, dual-axis charts is the right solution.

Indeed! I think the success of Bokeh (http://bokeh.pydata.org/) from Continuum has influenced their decision...

AFAIK Vega already uses the same technique for interactive charts. http://vega.github.io/vega/
Re: Plotly.js Open-Source Announcement
#49I've used plotly.js the last months (about 3 or 4), the needs of my application are basic: pie chart, bar chart and line chart. I first tried Chart.js, very easy to work with, but some situations make me change to plotly: -The user needed numbers to be outside the pie chart when the space is limited. -The user print the chart so svg is better than canvas for this purpose Plotly has plenty of configuration options and…
joelburgarini I'm one of the maintainers of Chart.js. Version 2 (currently in a beta release, https://github.com/nnnick/Chart.js/tree/v2.0-dev ) supports multiple x or y axes.
You are right, i've edited the comment to clarify.
Re: Plotly.js Open-Source Announcement
#50Thanks! It's surprising how we still don't have a good open source charting library. I've checked most of them out and Highcharts/FusionCharts blow them out of the water.
I think we have far too many good open source charting libraries, it makes picking very difficult.
