Hi all,
I want to propose the graduation of the charts module in supported
land.
Wiki page here:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Map+charting+module

The module has 4.5 stars out of 5, the missing piece is some
documentation other than the javadoc, mostly samples, since
the big part of the docs is really the Google Charts API,
which is throughly documented online:
http://code.google.com/intl/it-IT/apis/chart/

I plan to write samples once in the GeoServer Sphinx docs,
they can be then linked from the wiki page above.

For the time being, this mail message provides some samples
too:
http://n2.nabble.com/Proposing-new-chart-generating-dynamic-symbolizer-module-td2693818.html#a2693818

Stability wise, I know the module is new, yet:
- code coverage is 100% as reported by Cobertura
- the whole module is just a single class and depends on stable external
   libraries such as Eastwood charts and JFreechart
- I'm a committer on Eastwood so I can fix bugs and make improvements
   there as well

The only thing that does not look good is that the module depends on
a SNAPSHOT build of Eastwood that I deployed on the OSGEO repositories
(JFreechart is a stable version instead), but I plan to rectify this
by releasing Eastwood charts 1.2 sometimes this month.

Location wise, the module is a plugin of the dynamic symbolizers
API, so it would end up in modules/plugins.

Feedback and votes appreciated.

Cheers
Andrea
