What I want with such charting solutions is something to export or copy and paste data from excel and put it into a chart. Just that. No need to manually edit a javascript file or html code beyond customising the appearance once the data is in there. Is this available somewhere?



Some of our biologists use plot.ly. They seem to like it.

Those that know it still are using ggplot2 and R. This grammar of graphics plotting library really seems to gold standard of plotting.


D3 has an importer for tabular data, and looks like Taucharts uses D3 under the hood.

That said, it would be cool if there was some kind of composer interface that would allow you to point-at/paste/import data, then save the visualization as a single page HTML snippet - like a small Tiddlywiki for data.

Actually it uses Taucharts under the hood.


Cool. Look forward to hearing more.
