One of the main goals with Flot is pretty looks. Flot is supposed to be "flot". + + +Frequently asked questions +-------------------------- + +Q: Can I export the graph? + +A: This is a limitation of the canvas technology. There's a hook in +the canvas object for getting an image out, but you won't get the tick +labels. And it's not likely to be supported by IE. At this point, your +best bet is probably taking a screenshot, e.g. with PrtScn. + + +Q: Flot doesn't work with [framework xyz]! + +A: The problem is most likely within the framework, or your use of the +framework. + +The only non-standard thing used by Flot is the canvas tag; otherwise +it is simply a series of absolute positioned divs within the +placeholder tag you put in. If this is not working, it's probably +because the framework you're using is doing something weird with the +DOM. As a last resort, you might try replotting and see if it helps. + +If you find there's a specific thing we can do to Flot to help, feel +free to submit a bug report. Otherwise, you're welcome to ask for help +on the mailing list, but please don't submit a bug report to Flot - +try the framework instead.
