D3 IE8 Compatibility?

Question

Is there any way to make D3 compatible with IE8? Many of the posts here and in the documentation suggested using aight. https://github.com/shawnbot/aight/blob/master/aight.js

However, I added the lines/file mentioned to my html, but this still doesn't work in ie8. http://matthewpiatetsky.com/jsdemo.html

Does anyone know if there are any additional steps I need to take?

Perhaps use r2d3? Not sure how to do that, but will try to figure out

Answer 1

D3 uses SVGs to graph and since IE8 does not support SVG it won't work.I would give R2D3 a try, it shims SVG via Raphael to be compatible with D3. There are some limitations as some functionality won't be available. Look at https://github.com/mhemesath/r2d3/ for more details

Answer 2

Many good demos of R2D3, and Aight demos now exist.

I think that re-coding your question to demo it in one of these libraries is out-of-scope of SE, but hope you find the links useful.

Answer 3

aight.js worked for me, just need to take care importing it before d3.js
