Also, the pie chart and doughnut charts seem odd. The general rule is to order the values clockwise (biggest piece starts in top middle and extends to the right). It really helps readability and is a convention.
Keep up the good work!
Earlier quoted context omitted.
well, it's pretty easy to go from canvas to png, which I think is more portable than svg + css
How do you do that? I right-clicked on some graph, but there is not "Save Image As" option in Chrome
$('canvas').click(function() { window.open( this.toDataURL("image/png") , 'Serialized Canvas' , 'height=' + this.height + 'width=' + this.width ); });
This will popup a png version of a canvas graph if you click it.
Just out of curiosity, what did you use to put together that amazing documentation?
Didn't use any particular software or tools as such, but used Google prettify ( https://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/ ) for coloured syntax highlighting. Wrote the content in plain HTML, and used jQuery to build the nav on left hand side from the headings on the page.
One thing I love about Highcharts is that the documentation is heavily linked to examples on jsfiddle. Your documentation looks really nice and you have lots of nice examples, but I can't play with them. edit: I meant to say that I can't play with them as far as I can tell. Is there a way that I'm missing?
"If you are looking to add interaction as a layer to charts, Chart.js is not the library for you. A better option would be using SVG, as this will let you attach event listeners to any of the elements in the chart, as these are all DOM nodes."
Most charts are far more useful with rollovers to let the user interpret the data. I'd say this is a must have for most anything where you really are trying to give the user insight into the dataset.
Also seems to be a bit of a punt by saying this just isn't possible in Canvas. We know where the cursor is no? And we know where the points are. So can't we react to the cursor hovering over a point? What am I missing?
Otherwise, good job. Like other said, interactivity is lacking though
Looks great btw.
Good job, your charts look really good. Too bad they aren't interactive, it makes the legend+values mandatory to understand the data. Unless you just want to use them as art.

A great start! Definitely room to grow.
