The trader interface will display a new type of charts as of
today. Instead of relying on third-party software that makes
extensive use of Javascript, the new charts are based on the
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) standard that is now implemented
in all modern web browsers. SVG has many advantages over the
Javascript-based solutions. I am hopeful that the new charts
are visually appealing.
I also use SVG to generate public charts on the
BC 2013 election web page.
These charts show current predictions of the popular vote
share, seats distribution, and majority government.
