"Raphaël is a small JavaScript library that should simplify your work with vector graphics on the web. If you want to create your own specific chart or image crop and rotate widget, for example, you can achieve it simply and easily with this library."

I've only had a short time to play around with this framework today, but so far I'm very excited about it's potential. Being able to create some very clean graphics that work with the dreaded IE browser is a big plus. I'll post more on this library in the coming weeks, but until then, you can check out this great tutorial to get you up and running.
