Open source library for web-based drill down charts [closed]

Question

I have seen this Good javascript library for drawing charts using json, which lists charting libraries. I thought to go for FLOT but I didnot see that it is supporting drill down bars.

Can any one suggest me whether FLOT supports them or any other library I can use? I am mainly looking for drill down bars and pie charts with support of javascript and jquery and can pull the chart data for these graphs.

There is Highcharts and JFreeChart, will that work? JFreeChart does not support drill down, though.

d3.js. See the gallery:

There are several tutorials. Here are two:

• http://nickqizhu.github.com/dc.js/

And there are fiddle-like d3 editors:

So to me, d3.js certainly seems like the best choice.
