Peter Svensson will give us deep insights into real-time 2D graphics in the browser.
The Dojo Ajax Toolkit has a multitude of different features that help save time for the harried JavaScript developer. One of the most powerful and yet least known is the Canvas like dojox.gfx API, which adapts itself to the browser's 2D capabilities. It can use VML, SVG, Canvas and Silverlight, depending on what the browser supports. On top of the dojox.gfx library is also built the dojox.charting API which leverages the cross-browser graphics of dojox.gfx to provide snappy, versatile, themable and configurable charting with tooltips, dynamic scaling and general eventing.
