Have a look at Google charts! Read the API and examples
Disadvantages:
- Internet Connection required
- Javascript required
- Javascript code dyamically loaded from the internet
- A lot of trust in Google required
To explain the last point: You have to load Javascript code from Google at runtime, which loads even more Javascript code from Google and NodeReaper knows from where else. That code has the potential to upload all of the data you pass to the API functions. Google can change the implementation of the Javascript code at any time - they just promise backwards compatibiliy for some time.
"My data is not important, it will hide in the background noise." That background noise is well-analysed and sold by Google / Alphabet. They make money from it. A lot of money. So much money that they can afford developing self-driving cars (from scratch!) and many other things.
