I'd like to make plate diagrams for bayesian networks, like this one for Latent Dirichlet Allocation:

LDA Plate Diagram

The diagrams are pretty simple and really just need arrows, circles, rectangles, and greek letters. What would be the easiest graphing library in javascript to make these so that I can display them in a blog, such as an Octopress site? D3.js looks like it could do it, but i'm not familiar with the api and it looks like each diagram would require quite a bit of work.

Thanks in advance!

  • There's no _realy_ need for javascript, I could easily make these in open office or some similar tool, but I think this would be a good learning exercise for using plotting libraries in javascript/javascript itself. – fozziethebeat May 21 '12 at 20:39

    try http://raphaeljs.com/ or without js in canvas e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/a/6333775/529725 – Eric Fortis May 21 '12 at 20:41
  • @EricFortis nice raphaeljs is pretty close to what I want. But how do I draw an arrow connecting objects? – fozziethebeat May 22 '12 at 03:33
