So i have dates and numbers, whats the best way to graph this?

Question

Im working on a little greesemonkey script to calculate some numbers, and hopefully graphs of a particular wikipedia page.

So i can get the data into an array of dates and values, (not key value) array of objects with .date in the format of "d/m/yyyy" and .num as the number for the date.
