For a while now I've been interesting in creating charts in the browser using web technologies (js, html, css). It seems that the de facto standard is d3, a very powerful visualization library that can be used for a lot more than just creating graphs and charts. This library can take quite a bit of code to create a basic chart. However, with Rickshaw, a library built on top of d3, you can create the same charts with a much nicer and cleaner api.
Here's an example of a codepen from freecodecamp.com that purely written in d3: http://codepen.io/FreeCodeCamp/full/adBBWd
I've also come across this great quick video for integrating rickshaw with angular: http://tagtree.tv/d3-with-rickshaw-and-angular
I'll be looking to use Rickshaw for my charting needs in some projects coming up. Let me know if you're using Rickshaw and how you like it!
