Hi Fritz,

thanks for your explanation. I agree on your implication about passing 
objects to the backend instead of simple types.

Jsxgraph really looks stunning, I'm curious if it could be used with 
qooxdoo as easily as protochart. But for now, as I already said, I don't 
have the resources to dive into another toolkit; puzzling for me to see 
how many js charting libraries already exist:
http://blog.insicdesigns.com/2009/06/most-promising-free-javascript-charting-libraries-and-plugins/
Surely it would be great if any was natively supporting qooxdoo in the 
future.

Greetings,
Stefan
