Fabric.js vs Shield UI Charts

Fabric supports node.js, and has an npm package available for server side rendering with all the dependencies handled for you. This allows you to provide graceful degradation for image fallbacks to canvas or SVG content.

Drawing objects in fabric are vector focused, so everything is easily transformable. It makes it easy to create complex pathed shapes, add gradients, or filters. Although fabric is great for vector rendering, it also has image support as well.

When it comes to format compatibility, Fabric is the best, with the ability to output to Canvas, SVG, and JSON. SVG provides backwards compatibility for older browsers, and JSON allows you to store rendered output for later use.

If you are about to customize the library to your needs, this is the project of choice! Great programming work!

Allows creating multi-line text that can even be interactively edited by user interaction.

If the node-canvas dependency is a problem you can now look for npm install fabric@x.y.z-browser

There are more than 20 types of charts available for use.

Each chart can be implemented to ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC applications, with detailed documentation and guides for each.

Each of the available charts has documentation and guides available for every different implementation (JavaScript, ASP.NET etc.)

The charting widget is built to facilitate client side interactions and notifications.

Zoom-in on specific points of interest on the graph with the mouse – a single property allows this out-of-the-box.

You can combine different charts (they can be of the same type or even different types of charts) to display data correlations.
