The 3D scene graph engine is the result of Kun Xi's excellent SoC work, and the charting work is Neil Joshi's SoC contribution. The screenshot represents a successful merge of their efforts and is a major milestone. Adam: I agree about most 3D charts not being useful, but this does also lay the groundwork for letting us visualize data for which the 3rd dimension is meaningful. Hopefully once we're a bit further along we can do examples of that kind of data set.

One that i made (few weeks ago actually) was in canvas, take a look http://dragan.yourtree.org/code/canvas-3d-graph/ I guess is canvas.

Is this done in Canvas or SVG? Can't seem to find much documentation or specifics... What engine does the actual rendering here? Is this done in Canvas or SVG?

I don't think 3D is good for most charts, but impressive none the less. The 3D charts are pretty neat. I don’t think 3D is good for most charts, but impressive none the less.
