container hidden does not initialize

[Carlos]

Hello,
I am new using Flotr.js and as I try to initialize a new graph. it
throws an exception 'The target container must be visible'. Why is not
posible to initialize a hidden graph? What if you need multiple graphs
hidden already initialized?. I have checked a previous version of
Flotr and it is allowed to do it.

Thanks in advance.

I beleive people have solved this by putting the x position of the canvas
far off the screen. For example
<canvas id='plot' style='left:-2000px'>
might work.

I think there are other solutions but if you search this list there was lots
of discussion about this. I think iframe's might be useful also. Where the
canvas is large but it is inside an iframe that is 0 pixels high and wide
(sort of invisible).

Thank you very much for the solution George,

it works perfectly, but i can not understand what is the funcionality of throwing an exception in that case?
