Another javascript based tool, which is very new, is D3 (Data Driven
Documents).


D3 is built by the same guys who came up with Protovis a couple of years
ago.  [ http://vis.stanford.edu/protovis/ ]   Protovis was much more
limited in terms of flexible data inputs and scalability to large data
sets.

The only caveat, is that D3, like Protovis, generates SVG's.  This means
that you may have to jump through some tricky hoops to get it to work in
legacy Internet Explorer browsers. (IE9 is ok.)

Here is their forced layout:

Since it is hot off the presses, the D3 documentation and example sets are
still evolving daily.  I think it is worth watching.  I've been
experimenting with D3 for a few weeks now and am really liking it.
