Well done nick. This is the perfect example of a unicorn project - the perfect mix a technical solution, but with immaculate design sense. Even the documentation is beautiful. Would love to see this MIT licensed. I would love to see you rewarded for this project. Donations or a commercial support licence?
There's no mention about the license. This has been raised on the issue tracker: https://github.com/nnnick/Chart.js/issues/1

But on the other hand, SVG is infinitely more useful if you want to extract chart data from the page.
or display the same chart somewhere other than a web page, eg: a PDF or IOS app.
I've been making a ton of d3/html5 charts lately, and I've been terribly dissappointed by the open source offerings of graphs that are both beautiful(tons on dribbble, few even in html) and functional. Was going to work on one, but this actually looks really good! edit: any reason you decided not to use D3 for this?
I wanted Chart.js to be dependency free, which has led to a footprint of only ~4.4kb when minified and gzipped, d3 is a lot more complex, and has a gzipped size of about 10x that.
It'll have to be up to you whether canvas is the right solution in your use case over SVG!

well, it's pretty easy to go from canvas to png, which I think is more portable than svg + css
Just out of curiosity, what did you use to put together that amazing documentation?
Wrote the content in plain HTML, and used jQuery to build the nav on left hand side from the headings on the page.

How do you do that? I right-clicked on some graph, but there is not "Save Image As" option in Chrome
