http://www.highcharts.com/ - excellent integration and nice looking (free for non-commercial)

http://www.jqplot.com/ - open source, nice looking as well (free as in beer)

http://g.raphaeljs.com/ - another open source, well maintained

http://www.flotcharts.org/ - built specifically for JQuery (if that is what you are using)

Basically, take a look at these and others, find one that looks good and will easily plug in to your existing architecture and roll.

If you just want to sort the data into bins, take a look at histogram.js.

2023 open source alternative

If one is willing to decouple data binning from visualization, an alternative that is fully open source is to:

• Bin the data using d3.bin (requires the the d3-array library); a full example is available here
• Visualize the binned data using ApexCharts.js (full example here) or Chart.js (full example here)
