Do you have some sample plots you can attach? Phil --------- I used to be a hypochondriac AND a kleptomaniac. So I took something for it.

Perhaps as a result it got somewhat lost in the torrent of mail. Either that or people aren't here just to appease me. Anyways, I thought I would send it one last time in case anyone wants to try it out and comment. I should have much more time next week to hopefully clean things up further and get it closer to being ready.] I finally had some time to sit down and clean this up a little. Given that I am lazy I also switched from Flot to jqPlot because it supports more of what Gnucash needs without changes or unsupported extensions. There still is a decent amount of work to be done to reach parity with the gog charts, but I wanted to post what I have so far if anyone would like to try it out and comment. For now I left the old charts in for comparison. Once things are in a bit better shape I'll make a bug and post the latest patches. Here is a list of at least some of the possible issues I am aware of: * The default coloring could probably be better (plus support for when specific colors are specified) * The legend needs to get out of the way of the graph * On bar graphs as more bars get packed in there seems to be too much padding compared to bar width (really small bars with lots of whitespace) * On any of the bar graphs over time the x-axis labels are (to me) misleading. A bar labeled 01/01/2011, for example, actually represents the value up to the next x position, say 01/02/2011. Perhaps labeling it with the through date (the inclusive end date) would make more sense, rather than the start? Then again, maybe that is just a matter of preference. Or maybe I will avoid the issue entirely by simplifying the labels to just year, or month and year, for the simple cases. Anyways, feel free to give a try and let me know what could be different or better.
