Why are all the good chart generators that aren't dwarf fortress-esque always for-profit ventures?

Can you elaborate on what you are referring to and why you think it’s a problem? The chart looks quite nice to me. http://imgur.com/Po8lelr
Re: Variance
#24They seem to push the idea of the ability to build charts without JavaScript. On the other hand, I have to learn their XML markup. Is the markup universal in anyway or is it proprietary to their charting library?

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
I too would like to know if anything is planned for built-in support for things like hover states, tooltips, etc, so that users can inspect/explore/drill-into the data shown in a Variance-powered chart.
We have some stuff planned, but nothing on a firm timeline. That said, remember that Variance was designed to embrace HTML and CSS. You want hover effects? Use a plain ol' CSS selector. If you want something more elaborate, you can definitely just throw some classes onto different parts of your visualization and use other JS libraries like Bootstrap's tooltips.
Cool, thanks. I have already played around a bit with adding some hover effects etc, which is indeed straightforward since I can just use a plain old selector as you mention, etc.
I need to mess around to see if there is a straightforward way I could get a reference to the underlying data item (the row in the .csv for many of your examples, etc) from the context of a callback that fires on say $('bar').hover() or what have you. Will look into it.
Anyway thanks for answering, and nice work.

#26Very cool, also interesting that it's using Angular.
Re: Variance
#27I noticed this uses AngularJS under the hood. How would it play in an existing AngularJS app - can we install it as a module? Also, how would one do stacked bar charts?

The labels in the axis are misplaced in IE11. They look right in Chrome. http://imgur.com/oLHPoYy

We haven't exposed it on the site yet, but if you have an existing Angular.js app then you can import Variance as an Angular module for a cost of about 34kB.
Email variancecharts@generalreactives.com and we can get you squared away.
Re: Variance
#30This is really cool. I initially thought from the name that this only supported one type of chart (variance) but it actually has line, bar, scatterplot, dotplot, boxplot and range. I couldn't see it explicitly stated but I think you could build your own charts as well. https://variancecharts.com/examples/
Also, the pricing and licensing model seems right on. As a consultant, this is the cost of a couple of billable hours. I wouldn't hesitate to use it for a client project where they needed these kinds of graphs. https://variancecharts.com/examples/
