About
RGraph is a JavaScript charts library based on
HTML5 SVG and canvas. RGraph is mature (over 17 years
old) and has a wealth of features making it an ideal
choice to use for showing charts on your website.
Version 7.01 released
Version 7.01 (released in October 2025) is the
latest version of RGraph and now includes a new tree
structure object. The accompanying Treemenu object can then turn
the object into a fully dynamic tree menu.
You can read the API documentation for the tree on
the main API documentation page
and see an example of the Treemenu
feature by following this link...
New HTML datagrid
In the April 2025 (v6.21) release a new datagrid object
was added.
This makes it easy to add static or dynamic data
tables to your pages. It can be used whether you use the
canvas or SVG libraries or entirely standalone.

License
RGraph can be used for free under the GPL or if
that doesn't suit your situation there's an
inexpensive (£129) commercial license available.The textAlign property
The textAlign property sets how any text that you draw on the canvas is aligned. It can be left, center or right aligned. The left / start and the right / end values may appear to be very similar or identical.
Examples of setting the textAlign property
These are the possible values for the setting. It should be noted that RGraph only uses three of these values - left center and right
