摘      要：Learn how to create interactive HTML5 charts and graphs with canvas, JavaScript, and open source tools Overview Build interactive visualizations of data from scratch with integrated animations and events Draw with canvas and other html5 elements that improve your ability to draw directly in the browser Work and improve existing 3rd party charting solutions such as Google Maps In Detail The HTML5 canvas tag makes creating any plot shape easy, all you have to do then is fill it with exciting visualizations written in JavaScript or using other visualization tools. HTML5 Graphing and Data Visualization Cookbook is the perfect break into the world of Canvas, charts, and graphs in HTML5 and JavaScript. In this book we will go through a journey of getting to know the technology by creating and planning data-driven visualizations. This cookbook is organized in a linear, progressive way so it can be read from start to finish, as well as be used as a resource for specific tasks. This book travels through the steps involved in creating a fully interactive and animated visualization in HTML5 and JavaScript. You will start from very simple hello world samples and quickly dive deeper into the world of graphs and charts in HTML5. Followed by learning how canvas works and carrying out a group of tasks geared at taking what we learned and implementing it in a variety of chart types. With each chapter the content becomes more complex and our creations become more engaging and interactive. Our goal is that by the end of this book you will have a strong foundation; knowing when to create a chart on your own from scratch and when it would be a good idea to depend on other APIs. We finish our book in our last two chapters exploring Google maps and integrating everything we learnt into a full project. What you will learn from this book Creating graphics in Canvas 2D and draw complex shapes Building most of the common charts through step-by-step recipes Adding interactivity to canvas e
