Rickshaw is a JavaScript toolkit for creating interactive real-time time-series graphs, built on top of D3 and rendered as SVG. It provides composable elements such as renderers, legends, hovers, and range selectors for assembling charts in the browser.

Use cases

• plot real-time time series data in the browser
• create interactive line, area, and bar charts with d3
• build dashboards with legends, hovers, and range selectors
• render stacked area or stacked bar charts from JSON data
• add live-updating charts to a monitoring UI

When to choose

• you need interactive time-series charts built on D3/SVG with fine CSS control
• you want composable chart components like legends, hovers, and range sliders
• you're plotting streaming or real-time metrics in a web dashboard

When to avoid

• you need a batteries-included charting library with a high-level API like Chart.js or ECharts
• your project uses a modern framework and you prefer React/Vue chart bindings
• you need chart types beyond time-series (e.g., maps, 3D, heatmaps)
