Looks attractive. I'd rather not have the flash overhead (loading...). That's why we use flot for our dashboard.

Does anyone know if Axiis or the Degrafa framework which it depends upon require the non-free components from the Flex Builder Professional edition?

All you need is the Flex SDK. It is not entirely open source, but it is free to use.

I was able to compile it on the command line using the Flex SDK with:

    compc -namespace http://axiis src/manifest.xml  -o bin/text.swc -include-classes org.axiis.DataCanvas -source-path src/ -include-libraries libs/DegrafaLibrary.swc

No, they are independent.

Had to go with Raphael.js for our dashboard though.

Looks nice, the samples don't respond well to printing though.
