jQuery Gantt Chart Plugin
jQuery Gantt Chart is a plugin that creates an interactive Gantt chart from a json data source.
The chart is used to illustrate a project schedule. The plugin has options to customise the date ranges and these can be zoomed in/out to display in more/less detail.
It has events to view item details by clicking on a filled space and to add a new item by clicking in an empty space.
The state of the chart can optionally be persisted using cookies.
jOrgChart – jQuery Organisation Chart
jOrgChart is a jQuery plugin that displays a hierarchical organisational chart from a html list structure.
It features drag and drop but this requires the jQuery UI library and there doesn’t seem to be a built in method to save the updated tree structure.
The chart can be styled with css and each node can be collapsed & expanded by clicking on it.
Create Charts with jQuery and Peity
Peity is a lightweight (2.4kb minified) jQuery plugin that creates mini pie, bar and line charts in any browser that supports canvas. In legacy browsers that do not support canvas, the figures will still be displayed instead.
The size and colour of the charts can be customised in the configuration options and some types of chart have extra options.
Plenty of examples are provided, however this plugin is very simple to use. The charts can even be updated dynamically.
