Client-side GChart is an open source GWT library that supports bar, line, and pie charts, and yet adds nothing but its ~2,000 lines of Java to your application's list of dependencies:
http://gchart.googlecode.com This 2.2 release adds: * A new LINE symbol type for faster/better solidly connected line charts * A new layout algorithm that centers title, footnotes, axis labels and legend within explicitly-sizable bands around the plot area. In particular, since these bands have default thicknesses of 0px when empty, Sparkline charts are now straightforward. For full details, including links to example charts illustrating the new features, see the GChart 2.2 release notes: http://gchart.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/com/googlecode/gchart/client/doc-files/gchart2p2features.html Related posts/acknowledgments: 1) This post by Niall Haslam motivated the much-needed switch to a new chart decoration layout algorithm: http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/msg/5be9867eb81c9ca4 2) I used the technique explained in this post by Ian Bambury (http://examples.roughian.com) to workaround a perplexing IE7-only screen-not-repainting problem that the revisions of this release inadvertently exposed: http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/msg/31b2d8e0eace6f3c 3) The improved line chart capabilities were motivated by the far-too- slowly-updating solidly connected line chart code that Malcolm Gorman sent me. A new live demo chart, deliberately (HTML-element) sized similarly to Malcolm's chart, illustrates various ways (smaller charts, lower resolution connecting lines) you can use the new LINE symbol type to workaround the significant performance limitations that still remain for this kind of "non-rectangle-friendly" chart. Your ideas for improving Client-side GChart and help in solving its implementation problems were essential to this 2.2 release. Thank-you. John C.
