Replace Chartist.js with Chart.js

[digitalpoint]

The JavaScript charting library that XenForo uses (Chartist.js) has always been a pretty bare-bones library, leaving a lot to be desired.

Meanwhile, Chart.js is actively maintained and improved. It's what I've been using in my Cloudflare addon, and it works fantastically well. The only JavaScript charting library I've run across that's better is Highcharts, but it's a commercial product, so licensing of that would be a thing.



You can find a ton of examples of what it can do here:

Open source HTML5 Charts for your website

Maybe something to consider for 3.0?

Is there also a way to incorporate this into posts and messages? It seems crazy that we can't make charts and graphs from tables easily and people are using desktop software taking screenshots an inputting the images.
