Open source library/framework for building dashboard (bar,line,pie,etc)

Question

I have done POC with highcharts and works fine and looks great.

I am looking for better open source library/framework using which i can develop my dashboard showing different graphs.

The UI framework must handle the real time data (like Ajax calls or REST).

Any helpful suggestion appreciated.

D3 (Data-Driven Documents) is excellent if you have a bit of time to learn it.

Some examples:

You can also consider using a hybrid solution where you use D3 to handle your data/DOM manipulation and [raphael.js](http://raphaeljs.com/) as your drawing API/polyfill. – DTRx Dec 12 '12 at 12:47

After you pick your graphing solution (plots, charts, ...) some drag-and-droop grid to put it all together on one dashboard:

gridster.js (MIT licensed) may come in handy

This can be handy only when i need to integrate my all charts under one roof. I dont think it can be useful as chart lib. – Sohan Oct 28 '13 at 12:52
While I agree these are a bit off topic, they are awesome and I have not found them anywhere else. So thanks lukmdo! – Andrew Serff Apr 10 '15 at 18:55

It really appeared cool to me,yet i am wondering if it supports an api's to connect to an application servers like weblogic or graphite which collects data and manages data as per our queries. Also i cannot find the documentation where i can see the different charts i can built on top of it. – Sohan Apr 01 '13 at 06:32
Dashing looks great. It's a dashboard framework rather than just charting. I think they have some chart widgets that use https://github.com/shutterstock/rickshaw and you can build your own widgets that use whatever charting library you want (no idea yet how easy that is - it'd be really nice to see an example of flot charts with Dashing for example). – Rory May 23 '13 at 12:33
Here's some docs on including highchart widgets https://github.com/Shopify/dashing/issues/42. Presumably it'd be simple to include other (open source) frameworks too. – Rory May 23 '13 at 12:36
Can i use Dashing with ASP.NET MVC, it looks like it can be used only with Ruby ? Not sure ... – ATHER Jan 05 '15 at 23:22

You have mentioned it as open source,but on site i cannot find is it under MIT license something like that. – Sohan May 22 '13 at 16:45
Also i noticed it doesn have touch sensitivity, which is important factor – Sohan May 23 '13 at 07:40

seems to be a non-named open source license: https://github.com/flot/flot/blob/master/LICENSE.txt – Rory May 23 '13 at 11:53

There are many charts plugins out there. http://www.queness.com/post/10781/13-chart-and-graph-plotting-javascript-plugins

My recommendations:

JQPlot: jQuery plugin. Uses canvas element or VML
gRaphael: uses raphaeljs JS library. SVG W3C Recommendation and VML as a base for creating graphics. - Lots of options.

I guess these do not require any licensing in production?? – Sohan Dec 12 '12 at 12:42
You can use it in production. But may have some limitations with api calls. you can read the tos if you need more info on licensing. https://developers.google.com/terms/ – Achintha Samindika Dec 12 '12 at 12:45
