#112Can you add a `None` filter in the Dependancies section? After a quick look it seems like there a few that would fall into this option.
I like that idea, thanks!
negative filters might be useful too. i.e. non-jQuery non-d3, or at least make selecting multiple dependencies show the union of both sets, rather than the empty intersection.

#114What are the advantages of SVG or Canvas in that use case? Which one (SVG, Canvas) is principle faster on current browser with thousands of data points?
Canvas is faster, as it basically is just a bitmap, while an SVG chart with a million points would correspond to at least a million DOM elements.
You don't necessarily need a million DOM elements. Data points could mean points of a single plot, in which case you have a single path element with lots of points. Generally you can almost always bunch things together in a single path to reduce the number of DOM elements (with other tradeoffs, of course).

#115Very nice work. How about a graph type "arrow diagram" as a subtype of "drawing"? One thing I'm missing a bit in the list is GraphViz style diagrams.
If you are interested in network visualization you might consider Cytoscape.js. It's being used e.g. in bioinformatics (visualizing networks of interacting genes, interactively inspecting & manipulating their layout etc). Open-source license, and seems to be becoming quite featureful:

#116Good stuff! What about D3? http://d3js.org/
I would consider D3 not to be a graph making library, but more a Data Frame & Document Object Model data binding library with a collection of stats functions.
Yeah. I consider D3 a good starting point to build a charting library on top of.

#117While 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
Thank you everyone. I'll check the suggested options.
