#12Hi, this looks pretty. I've been a happy highcharts user for several years; can you summarize what's good/better/different about chartjs?
Re: Chart.js 2.0 Released
#13One of the Chart.js contributors here. Version 2.0 is a massive overhaul of the underlying library focused on ease of use and extensibility. Hundreds of issues from the 1.x branch have been resolved, making Chart.js even more stable and user friendly than ever! Here are a few of the core changes: - Github Organization: Moved from github.com/nnnick/Chart.js to our own org, github.com/chartjs/Chart.js, where we hope to…
looks awesome. Can't wait to try out this new version.

This.
For custom stuff I use D3, but for the "standard"-charts I use Highcharts.
Edit: Seems like Chartjs is MIT, Highcharts is only free for non-commercial.

#15Awesome. I used Chart.js for a project a year ago or so and really liked it.
It looks like the documentation is missing some of the new 2.0 chart types.
Edit: Nevermind. It looks like they are not new types per se, but new options on old types. Scale, Stacked, etc.

#16We've been using the old version on kwiksurveys.com for a year or so now. Like many we used to use Highcharts but it had some serious performance compatibility issue with AngularJS 1.x (I'm sure they've fixed it now.)
The big problem with ChartJS was the lack of horizontal bar charts. From memory there was a 3rd party plugin for this but the author himself admitted it was a bit of a bodge.
Disappointed to see that this wasn't added to the new version. I hope this is something the team considers in the future.
I look forward to getting this up and running on our site though.

Looks amazing! We've been using it for almost a year now, we'll most likely updgrade to the v2 as soon as we can!

Hey @dmeagor, I'm one of the Chart.js maintainers. Horizontal bar charts are on our radar to implement. Most of the work has been done. The scales already fit nicely. The only thing that needs to be implemented is a controller for it all.

#19I am using metrichgraphics[1], it's based on D3.js
I was looking at charts.js but it didn't had enough options.

Really pleased to hear that. We love ChartJS, switching over to it from Highcharts was a breeze and I'd recommend others take a look too. From what I remember the API was nice and simple to work with.
