Visiting the site gives this error. jtablesession::Store Failed DB function failed with error number 1226 User 'highcharts' has exceeded the 'max_updates' resource (current value: 36000) SQL=INSERT INTO `jos_session` ( `session_id`,`time`,`username`,`gid`,`guest`,`client_id` ) VALUES ( '8cre30vqdh3ip8hh0iebn7buq5','1361463112','','0','1','0' ) Googling jos_session reveals the site is built using Joomla.. Should proba…

If only it had the most "usable" pricing structure too: http://shop.highsoft.com/highcharts.html One price for a "web page" that's not a "web application" and then pricing per developer? Just ridiculous. Why not add a per CPU surcharge while we're at it?
I don't even know what pricing per developer means. They should rethink this, because I know lots of people who ignore it because it doesn't make sense for their situation.
What about the other side of this, generating the series data? Are there many - or any! - general-purpose libraries one can point at a database, choose or write an SQL statement, and it will take care of time and date ranges for you?
The most usable charting solution keeps getting better.
Google Charts is very usable and they look really good IMHO - and it's open source. I couldn't afford HighCharts license AND they never responded to me when we tried to email them about getting a "deal" as a startup. https://developers.google.com/chart/ [EDIT] Changed to charts and included link
There's also Flotr2: http://www.humblesoftware.com/flotr2 and Envisionjs: http://www.humblesoftware.com/envision Which are FOSS.
Actually, this is a perfect time to ask: I've been trying to find the best FOSS charting tool for a (for-profit) RoR app I'm building. Google-visualr seems to be the easiest to use: https://github.com/winston/google_visualr
I made a list of other possibilities here: http://bernardomenez.es/graphing-on-rails
Any tips on a good gem/framework to use for an RoR newbie would be much appreciated...
I'm not sure how to get excited by this. Seems weird that customers had to wait until version 3 to get a bubble chart and some basic animation events (though it seems you are still on your own to figure out the transitions). After using d3, charts built like this just feel so limiting and a bit old fashioned - I think it is a testament to the amazing work that Mike Bostock has done.

I use xcharts, It's very simple, good looking and based off of D3.js http://tenxer.github.com/xcharts/

Very nice. Do you know how they achieve the 1-pixel lines on the chart? I'm supposing they use SVG, like RaphaelJS. This was a little PITA for me in RaphaelJS.
Highcharts uses SVG and reverts to UML for older versions of IE.

Not to mention that (at least compared to the previous release of HighCharts) D3's performance is just so much better. Graphing tens of thousands of data points causes my browser to freeze up for 10+ seconds at a time with HighCharts, while a D3-based graph visualization of the same data loads in under a second.
