[LNT] Plotly graphs

Vasiliev_Dmitry · August 14, 2021, 2:42pm

Hello all,

Currently LNT uses jQuery.flot libraries for drawing graphs.

We would like to suggest a patch to use Plotly library instead.

Plotly allows multiple axis, advanced zoom, saving to PNG files and many other useful features.

The related python and JavaScript code is much more compact and clear.

We will keep the current design and behavior as much as possible.

Plotly.js is released under the MIT license.

Please express your objections if any.

Thanks,

Dmitry Vasiliev

I have no experience with Plotly, but jQuery.flot is pretty limited compared to modern plotting implementations.

If there are no license issues, that seems like a great idea!

I support this suggestion. In my personal experience, I have found Plotly to be the best JavaScript plotting library I have tried, in terms of features, interface and performance.

Thanks,
Jonathan
