Review on Plottable.js by Greg Horn

Revainrating 4 out of 5

This is a good charting tool.- my review about Plottable.js

Hasn't changed my business. It was the best charting tool I've used since high school. I didn't realize how often I'd need to use them until I had no choice. Now it has completely replaced other tools I used. A lot of features are pretty basic and could use improvements, but the free version still works well enough. I wish there were more options for adding legends/axis lines etc., especially if you want something custom or unique - this one just doesn't offer as much flexibility as others do (I'm looking at you Highcharts). Also, it's very slow when dealing with large data sets so using a smaller dataset may cause performance issues too. But overall they're doing great work!

Pros
  • Simple design makes creating interactive charts fast and easy.
  • Ability to add multiple data series makes it easier to create complex graphs.
  • Fast loading speeds even on slower computers.
Cons
  • No support for customizing these templates.
  • You will have to choose carefully what kind of effect you want to apply to each chart element.
  • Data points are not grouped by date, making it difficult to compare trends across multiple time periods.
