Well, I’m a bit late, but happy new year to all! A new year has begun, so it’s time to write some sort of roadmap, to get straight what I want to accomplish the coming year. I”m not going to bother you with the complete list, but there are a few points that might be interesting for you.
Yesterday and today the Ajaxian team posted two very interesting posts concerning javascript charting. The first one is Flot and it´s built on top of jQuery, a javascript framework. The second one´s from Google, it´s called the Google Chart API. So for everyone who´s not satisfied with Plotr, you might give those libs a try.
Like I promised in the last post about the release of Plotr 0.3.0 I was going to write some proper documentation. Well, I put up a page from which you can browse all documentation. You can find it at http://www.solutoire.com/plotr/docs/. There’s not much to find right now, but in the next few weeks I’ll write some docs on colorSchemes and datasets.
Today I release the new version of Plotr, version 0.3.0. It took a little longer than expected, but there where some problems with the plotr configurator. Sorry I kept you waiting. The Plotr code is almost the same as the svn version from July, I made just a few adjustments.
Sorry for all those waiting on the next release of Plotr. Tomorrow I’m leaving the Netherlands for a summer holiday in Turkey for 11 days. There have been so many changes to the Plotr code that I couldn’t test it in all browsers. That’s the reason I’m not releasing Plotr yet. But for those interested, I created a configuration tool. You can use this web app to stylize charts, and then generate the code. As you’ll see the options are changed, Plotr 0.3.0 is not(!) backwards compatible.
It took some time but now I finally can release Plotr v0.2.0. For those who don’t know what Plotr is, Plotr is a javascript charting framework built on top of PrototypeJS. This version includes many bug fixes and some new features, like drawing shadows and showing legends.
A new version of Plotr is out: version 0.1.4. A lot users asked me to implement a method that parses a table and plot a chart from the parsed data. So today I added it and it seems to work quite well.
