This is going to be
a bare bones how to install and use Highstock.
But first of all
what is Highstock?
To quote the site
Highstock lets you create stock or
general timeline charts in pure JavaScript, including sophisticated navigation
options like a small navigator series, preset date ranges, date picker,
scrolling and panning. [1]
It is highly
compatible with different browsers even going so far back as to support
IE6. Its free to use for non-commercial
work. For a commercial license you can
go to this page http://shop.highsoft.com/highstock.html [3]. I think their licensing is very
reasonable and gives you a lot of control.
