I have updated the page showing the interactive plots using Flot and ChemDoodle Web Components

I have a regular need to share results from my work and historically this has been via a paper reports that have more recently been replaced by electronic versions. Whilst useful, these reports lack the interactivity, in particular it is extremely useful to be able to easily link data points on a scatter plot with the corresponding chemical structure. So I’ve started using web-based reports to add extra functionality. Unfortunately it has often required the addition of applets or plugins that I can’t be sure the viewer will have available so with the advent of HTML5 I’ve been exploring writing the reports using just HTML and javascript. One of the major challenges is to produce interactive plots instead of using static images, and I’ve been exploring the use of Flot to produce a plot with chemical structures produced using either a web-service like ChemSpider or a javascript library of web components developed by ChemDoodle.
