Frequently asked questions
--------------------------
Q: Can I export the graph?
A: This is a limitation of the canvas technology. There's a hook in
the canvas object for getting an image out, but you won't get the tick
labels. And it's not likely to be supported by IE. At this point, your
best bet is probably taking a screenshot, e.g. with PrtScn.
Q: Flot doesn't work with [framework xyz]!
A: The problem is most likely within the framework, or your use of the
framework.
The only non-standard thing used by Flot is the canvas tag; otherwise
it is simply a series of absolute positioned divs within the
placeholder tag you put in. If this is not working, it's probably
because the framework you're using is doing something weird with the
DOM. As a last resort, you might try replotting and see if it helps.
If you find there's a specific thing we can do to Flot to help, feel
free to submit a bug report. Otherwise, you're welcome to ask for help
on the mailing list, but please don't submit a bug report to Flot -
try the framework instead.
