I've had such mixed results with the Javascript graphing libraries, Plotkit included. I always end up on a more traditional platform.

Almost the same here, I always found it difficult to do what I wanted with these frameworks. I ended writing my own custom javascript graphing code.

I realized it is not that hard to do, you can get nice graphs out quickly without too much code. I also found teh resulting code to be simpler than the one from libraries. I suspect that a lot of the complexity comes from making things generic, or maybe (in some cases) the authors being unfamiliar with javascript?

PlotKit is three years old and doesn't look to have been maintained since then. Why did it show up here?

I was going to say something along similar lines when I saw that it had been tested against Firefox 1.5...
