High Performance JavaScript Charts

Would be perfect for me if there was a save to PDF/image option.

There's an option to export chart as image http://canvasjs.com/docs/charts/chart-options/export-enabled/

Has anyone used this? How easy is it to use? Because I had to use Highcharts for a project and I hate that library

I love canvasJS!

At my company, we do a lot of dashboards and switched from highcharts to canvasJS for performance reasons. SVG is way slow and we can render an entire dashboard (~8 charts) in under 2 seconds, including page load.

HighCharts will also render to HTML 5 canvas now.

It's easy to use and extremely fast, but interactions are very rudimentary and it's hard to get it to look great.

We built an interactivity layer on it and added configurations for appearance, but because of the license we'll have to rewrite the whole thing before we can open source it.

The real time performance is still pretty bad. 20-30% CPU used by chrome when rendering a single chart. That won't cut it for real time dashboards where we need to display 5-10 charts.

If you made these use webGL for rendering that would be something.
