Raphaël: JavaScript library graphics wrapper using SVG and VML
Dmitry Baranovskiy created “Raphaël” — “a small JavaScript library that simplifies working with vector graphics on the web. If you want to create specific chart or image crop-n-rotate widget, you can simply achieve it with this library.”
Raphaël uses SVG and VML as a base for graphics creation. Because of that every created object is a DOM object so you can attach JavScript event handlers or modify objects later. Raphaël’s goal is to provide an adapter that will make drawing cross-browser and easy. Currently library supports Firefox 3.0+, Safari 3.0+, Opera 9.5+ and Internet Explorer 6.0+.
