Q on charting

[marvinb]

I'd like to know whether the charting capabilities included with Smartclient allow for advanced interactivity with the chart- I'm looking for features such as:
1) Adding a new point to an existing line chart
2) Within an existing line chart, drag and move a point to a different Y coordinate (keeping the x coordinate unchanged)
3) For 1&2, capture and write-back the new (or modified) value
4) Animate a bubble chart - bubbles change in size and position, over an elapsed time period

thank you-

These are all doable, but they aren't built-in features.

If you take a look at the Charting samples for Adding Elements and Custom Hovers you can see that you can get all the coordinates and events you'd need to implement a drag interaction or provide an interface for clicking to add a point.

At any time you can just call setData() to provide new data to the chart. You can use this to refresh the chart after clicking or dragging to change/add points, and also to refresh the data if you want to create a time-based animation for a bubble chart.

Most of your use cases could be wholly or partly implemented as framework features as well - for that, consider Feature Sponsorship.
