Filament Group released the JQuery Visualize Plugin which provides a simple method for generating charts and graphs using the HTML 5 Canvas element. JavaScript is scraping the tables in order to generate the charts. The data for the visualization exists in tabular format and it is accessible to people who browse the web with a screen reader or other assistive technology (AT).

You can use this plugin to generate bars, lines, areas, and pie charts from a HTML table. They can be configured in a variety of ways.
