Dynamic Graphics in the Browser

Dynamic graphics inside the browser are starting to become a little bit more practical, thanks to increased support for Canvas and SVG. I recently discussed eight competing techniques for generating dynamic graphics in an Ajax application, each with their own implications for portability, usability, and performance. The following techniques are descibed:
  1. SVG
  2. Canvas
  3. Dynamic images from the server
  4. VML
  5. Richer Plugin (e.g. Flash)
  6. CSS/DOM
  7. data: resource
  8. XBM
