AnyChart 8.6.0 is out! Check out what new awesome interactive data visualization features we’ve added to our award-winning JS charts library!
First and foremost, two new chart types are now available out of the box — greet the main protagonists of the 8.6.0 release:
 |
Timeline Chart in AnyChart JS Charts Library
Timeline Chart is used to display a set of events in chronological order. It is typically a graphic design showing a long bar labeled with dates paralleling it, and usually contemporaneous events. Look at interactive Timeline Chart examples in our gallery. Read AnyChart Docs to learn how to create a JS Timeline Chart using our library. |

Network Graph in AnyChart JS Charts Library
Network Graph, also Graph Chart, is a mathematical structure (graph) designed to show relationships between data points. This chart type visualizes how entities are interconnected with each other. Entities are displayed as nodes (points). Relationship between them (edges) are depicted as lines. Check out interactive Network Graph examples in our gallery. Read AnyChart docs to learn how to create a JS Network Graph using our library. |
Then, the new major release AnyChart JS Charts 8.6.0 is bringing multiple other improvements, not to mention bug fixes.

Wondering how to make a beautiful interactive Word Cloud using JS? Then you’re in the right place! In this data visualization tutorial, I’ll guide you through the entire development process, demonstrating it’s easier to create a JavaScript word cloud chart for an HTML5 app or web page than you might think!
Also known as tag clouds, word clouds represent a popular visual technique designed to reveal how often tags (or basically, any words) are mentioned in a given text body. Essentially, the word cloud chart type leverages diverse colors and sizes to display at a glance different levels of relative prominence.
Now that we’ve got an idea of what a word cloud is, let’s get down to learning how to quickly code one using JavaScript!
