Launch of the 'Raphael Live' Learning Tool

11 March 2010

Craic has released Raphaël Live, an interactive tool for exploring the Raphaël Vector Graphics JavaScript Library, developed by Dmitry Baranovskiy.

Raphaël makes it easy to create complex vector graphics in JavaScript in a way that is compatible with modern web browsers. Craic has created Raphaël Live as an interactive tool for learning how to use this library.

By combining Raphaël, jQuery and the CodeMirror in-browser code editor, Raphaël Live makes it easy to try out code examples.

In addition, the tool provides links to a series of tutorial examples that demonstrate the major components of Raphaël. Clicking on a link loads the code into the editor and displays the results. Users can modify the code and re-run it to see how different attributes and parameters affect the result. In this way you can get up to speed with this important library in no time.

The code for Raphaël Live is available on GitHub and is freely distributed under the MIT license.
