A new JHS update is available. It adds a dozen lines of new J code and gives
a hint at what is available through Google Charts.

An interesting example of the power of browser/web/html/javascript and cloud
computing.

Use JAL (Package Manager) to install version 1.0.12 and then restart JHS.

In jijx try:
   plotlines 'fubar';'abc|def';400 200; 2 10$?20#1000
   plotpie 'fubar';'abc|def|ghi';400 200; 50 24 12

Look at the dead simple the J code. The functions just pack up the info for
the chart you want and request it as a URL from the google charts web site
and a png file is sent back in return.

Amazing, state the art plotting with only a few lines in total of J code!

And normal browser services allow you to save the png file, open in a new
tab, etc.

See google chart on the web for examples and documentation on all the
possbilities.

This exact same stuff is available to users of the JHS server at Jsoftware
jum. You'll have to use jum to kill your task with the older version and
restart you task with the new version and then the examples from above will
work exactly the same.

I think this is a big deal!
