This should really include http://ecomfe.github.io/echarts/index-en.html

I see none of them have the option "Large Data Set", I would think dc.js supports that with it's crossfilter support.

Give http://ecomfe.github.io/echarts/index-en.html a try. Sounds capable of more data than DC.

Baidu huh. Those plots looks really slick. IE6+ support is quite the accomplishment.

Actually it seems their selector is bugged. If you hover over them individually, two of them are tagged with "Large Data Set"

Sigma and Dygraphs

I always rely on Highcharts, probably the biggest library presented here.

Fit all the case (except map maybe) and flexible enough to let you change everything if you or your designer want something very specific !

It would be great if it was specified whether each library works offline for comparison. For example, Google Charts don't work offline.

While we're on the topic, I'm beginning with js with a goal to create some materials for maths classes. Which library would let me do, for example, graphs of quadratic, cubic functions AND possibly drag/move the line to see how the equation translates? Thank you

I wrote up a Newton's Method example a few years ago and it still holds up well: http://www.programmingmath.com/

Great stuff! Would be great if similar comparison existed for data grids (tables).
