Which libraries did you check, that did not fulfill your requirements, and why?

I've used both gRaphael (http://g.raphaeljs.com/) and jqPlot (http://www.jqplot.com/) before, and found both to be at least decent (though, I had a few issues with jqPlot, but switching to gRaphael solved those).

There's also Protovis (http://vis.stanford.edu/protovis/) which has been used for graph visualization.

Thumbs up for highcharts. Easy to use and really flexible.
