title: Changing label positions in Flot, using the Spider plug-in (or using a background image?)
body: <p>I'm currently making a web app that relies upon Flot, and specifically the "Spider" plugin - available at jumware[1]. However I have 10 different types of data for each series, so there's 10 different datapoints each with a label. Unfortunately the plugin doesn't handle labelling so well - and I either have to set the labels so small you can't read them, or their large enough to read but clutter the diagram up.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried setting a background image on the div, however that worked in all other browsers but is a known problem when using IE and Excanvas.[2] Naturally I need this app to be working with all browsers, and as it's not on behalf of my personal website - I can't really afford to block IE users.</p>
  
  <p><strong>So my question is basically</strong> -<br>
   - Is there a way of moving the labels in a flot diagram, or removing them all and drawing them manually?<br>
   - Or, perhaps more easily - does anyone have a hack around the div/excanvas bug in IE? This would be the perfect solution!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance guys!</p>
