WebGL as method for generating 3D graphic in browser and it is pretty powerful. You can do really awesome things with this, like porting Quake 2 to JavaScript or creating model of human body . But all of this 3D object are complex collection of hundreds or thousands triangles. What if you just want to draw a simple thin line? Luckily OpenES have support for that. So it is possible. Lets see how to do that.
Normally canvas 2D context is using custom coordinate transform where Y coordinates are flipped vertically. Here is image with example (taken from http://diveintohtml5.info/canvas.html
; it is great book and you should read it :) ) 
It is a bit inconvenient to use if you are drawing some shapes with points given in classic Cartezian coordinate system.
While writing application for my Masters Degree diploma I was required to came up with simple library for creating simple 2D graphs in the browser. Today I decided to share it with the rest of the world :)
