D3 IE8 Compatibility?

Question

Is there any way to make D3 compatible with IE8? Many of the posts here and in the documentation suggested using aight. https://github.com/shawnbot/aight/blob/master/aight.j

Answer 1

D3 uses SVGs to graph and since IE8 does not support SVG it won't work.I would give R2D3 a try, it shims SVG via Raphael to be compatible with D3. There are some limitations as some functionality won't be available. Look at https://github.com/mhemesath/r2d3/ for more details
