RGraph:是基于HTML5的canvas标签，采用Javascript画图的库。
优点：由于是采用js在客户端浏览器上画图，所以它能快速显示页面和减轻服务器负载。
缺点：浏览器必须支持HTML5，不能够保存图表。
本文介绍一款名叫Rgraph的插件，使用RGraph统计图制作插件的话，可以将这个资源占用减少到接近零的程度，因为所有创建统计图的工作都是在客户端完成的，就像渲染HTML网页一样，服务器端只负责发送数据，不再负责统计图的生成与发送了，同时带宽的占用情况也大大得到了改善。
另外，由于统计图是依靠JavaScript来生成的，所以当你查看这个显示统计图的HTML网页的时候，该网页是可以为离线状态的了。

However, due to the inherent difference between the technologies and differences in various browsers causes minor disparity between the Flash and JavaScript variants of the charts.
