morris.js – Simple elegant looking Charts Library based on Javascript
It’s a very simple API for drawing line, bar, area and donut charts.
Getting started
Add morris.js and its dependencies (jQuery &Raphaël) to your page.
1 <link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/morris.js/0.5.1/morris.css">2 <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.0/jquery.min.js"></script>3 <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/raphael/2.1.0/raphael-min.js"></script>4 <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/morris.js/0.5.1/morris.min.js"></script>
If you don’t want to use the CDN-hosted assets, then you can extract them from the zip bundle and upload them to your own site.

Your first chart
Start by adding a <div>
to your page that will contain your chart. Make sure it has an ID so you can refer to it in your Javascript later.
<div id="myfirstchart" style="height: 250px;"></div>
Note: in order to display something, you’ll need to have given the div some dimensions. Here I’ve used inline CSS just for illustration.
Next add a <script>
block to the end of your page, containing the following javascript code:
new Morris.Line({ // ID of the element in which to draw the chart. element: 'myfirstchart', // Chart data records -- each entry in this array corresponds to a point on // the chart. data: [ { year: '2008', value: 20 }, { year: '2009', value: 10 }, { year: '2010', value: 5 }, { year: '2011', value: 5 }, { year: '2012', value: 20 } ], // The name of the data record attribute that contains x-values. xkey: 'year', // A list of names of data record attributes that contain y-values. ykeys: ['value'], // Labels for the ykeys -- will be displayed when you hover over the // chart. labels: ['Value']});
