Is there a non-Adobe equivalent of Axiis?

Question

I want something like Axiis, but without using Flex or other Adobe products.

Answer 1

The closest I can think off the top off my head is Google Visualization API

Of course, AFAIK, this will only work for on-line applications. And is Google any less evil than Adobe is a question for you to decide :)

Answer 2

Have a look at the JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit. Also, maybe the gRaphaël charting library (built on top of Raphaël) can suit your needs.

Others:

• Ajax.org
• Google Chart API
• flot
• Style Chart
• Bluff
• JS Charts
• jqPlot
• pChart
• ExtJS
• Vizualize
• TufteGraph
• milkchart
• DojoX Data Chart
• jQChart
• PlotKit

See whether one of these suits your needs best.

Answer 3

Hey oo...

This is a pretty open question, as you havent specified any preference for any particular technology or language.

I do a lot of WPF/C# stuff so I immediately start looking on that stack. Assuming that this would be a suitable platform, then Visifire might be worth looking at... I originally found them here on codeplex.

There seem to be a ton of third party paid for components that can do similar things. Telerik has some visualization tools that may also be worth having a look at.

Is thre any specific scenario that you are looking at, or any specific language? I think we may be able to suggest better alternatives if that was provided.

Answer 4

You could try protovis (JavaScript), looks quite similar.
