October 2011 release notes

The October 2011 release of RGraph is now available and has new animation effects and other improvements including:

• You can now have multiple events per "person" with the Gantt chart.
• Added the Gauge chart, which is another variation of a meter.
• Added the Line chart Trace animation
• Added more testimonials - if you want to submit one there is a link on the RGraph front page: http://www.rgraph.net.
• Added easing to the HBar Grow effect. The effect is quite subtle.
• Added the Pie chart RoundRobin effect.
• Added Scatter chart boxplot tooltips.
• Added the Pie chart Implode effect. Combined with the Roundrobin effect looks nice:

  myPie = new RGraph.Pie('cvs', [4,3,5,6]);
  myPie.Set('chart.colors', ['red','green','blue','pink']);
  
  RGraph.Effects.Pie.Implode(myPie);
  RGraph.Effects.Pie.RoundRobin(myPie);
  

• The Rose chart Grow effect now slowly increases the start angle of the segments as well as the radius.
• Changed the Odo Grow effect so it grows from the last reading (if any).
• Added the Gauge chart Grow effect. Like the Odo Grow effect it animates from the last reading (if any) instead of zero all the time.
• Added the Line chart FoldToCenter. Combined with the UnfoldFromCenter effect could easily make a chart switching effect.
• Added an .Explode() method to the Pie chart for programmatically exploding segments. There's an example of its use on the Pie chart example page: http://www.rgraph.net/examples/pie.html
• Added Grow effect to the Radar chart.
• Added Grow effect to the Waterfall chart.
• Added Pie chart chart.key.interactive
• Tweaked the Meter chart Grow animation - test your charts when upgrading if you use the Grow animation.
• Multiple filled line charts now work with the Trace animation.

• Note: The Pie chart chart.segments array is being removed (November or December) - use the myObj.angles array instead
• Note: The default positioning for titles has changed - you may need to adjust your positioning.
