If you are looking for a free charting control for you websites or web applications, the options are in plenty. Google Charts API, for instance, is a great tool. But sometimes you want to play in your own style and do more than what these solutions would allow you. Fortunately, you can find a way out somehow… take the example of Yokul, a simple JavaScript library that allows you to implement Google Chart API at client side using HTML5 Canvas. It also offers a number of benefits that you would not find anywhere else.
- Yokul runs on the client, no data is sent to any third parties; save bandwidth
- It renders many charts much faster than Google can.
- Yokul goes beyond the limits of Google and allows you to generate charts of any size… 10,000×10,000 pixel chart? No problem.
- No internet connection is required for Yokul to work
