Amazing... And very smooth! In one of the graph examples, I plugged in 500 nodes, thinking it would crash. But it failed very gracefully, and simply "slowed" things down instead of jittering into oblivion.

Wow I needed this library about 3 weeks ago! Anyone know else know of any alternatives?

I may be missing something but it seems to be going for the same space as the popular D3.js library: http://d3js.org

d3.js doesn't target (it renders to ) so graph drawing can be pretty slow. Some more alternatives for this scenario (both of which handle fast drawing to :

I didn't think d3 targets anything in particular (from memory the tutorial uses divs to draw a histogram), a google search turns up a number of d3 canvas examples.

I can't seem to be able to find good examples of kinectJS in action. Could you please point me to some solid examples or in-depth tutorials?
