The purpose of this script is to provide a unique and elegant way to visualize data using Javascript and the object.

This type of visualization can be used to display connections between many different objects, be them people, places, things, or otherwise. The script is licensed under an MIT-style license.

This script requires three libraries to support it. Two of them, CanvasText (for text support with canvas elements) and ExCanvas (for IE canvas support) are included.

MooTools, the third library, is not included. MooWheel requires the following to be available in the MooTools library: Class, Class.Extras, Element, Element.Event, Element.Dimensions, and Json.Remote.

The canvas element can be passed as either an element reference or an id string. The data array must be a standard javascript array following the format outlined in the usage section.

The MooWheel class can also generate a graph based on an AJAX request. Simply supply the AJAX call information in the MooWheel options and it will get the JSON data (which should be in the same format as the data array) and generate a graph.
